Leavenworth barely beat Turner the last time the pair played, but that sure wasn't the case this time around. The PIONEERS blew past the Golden Bears 12-2 on Tuesday. Considering the PIONEERS have won ten games by more than five runs this season, Tuesday's blowout was nothing new.
Pierce Gray tossed a big game, tossing 5.1 innings while giving up just one earned (and one unearned) run off three hits. He has become a key player for Leavenworth: the team is 2-1 when he allows at most one earned run, but 9-13 otherwise.
On the hitting side, Leavenworth let Oliver Rambo and Noah Davis run wild. Rambo went 2-for-3 with two runs and two RBI, while Davis got on base in two of his four plate appearances with three runs, one stolen base, and one RBI. Davis is becoming a predictor of Leavenworth's success: when he posts at least two runs the team is 6-2 (and 5-12 when he doesn't). Another player making a difference was Jacob Kramer, who went a perfect 2-for-2 with two RBI.
Leavenworth was getting hits left and right and finished the game having posted a batting average of .385. They are a perfect 8-0 when they post a batting average of .375 or better.
The win (which was Leavenworth's fourth in a row) raised their record to 11-14. The victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.0 run on average over those games. As for Turner, their defeat was their ninth straight on the road, which dropped their record down to 5-19.
Leavenworth will have a chance to go back-to-back against the Golden Bears: the pair's next game is a rematch scheduled at 5:00 p.m. on Thursday.
