Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Alcoa). They put the hurt on the Eagleton College & Career Academy Royals with a sharp 20-1 win on Monday. Considering the Tornadoes have won 11 games by more than five runs this season, Monday's blowout was nothing new.
Aden Orrick made a big impact no matter where he played. On the mound, he didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only one hit over five innings pitched. The dominant performance also gave him a new career-high in strikeouts (four). He was also stellar in the batter's box, scoring four runs and stealing three bases while getting on base in four of his five plate appearances.
In other batting news, Alcoa let Bleau Kennedy and Myles Cox run wild. Kennedy scored two runs while getting on base in three of his four plate appearances, while Cox scored two runs and stole two bases while going 1-for-1. Those two stolen bases gave Cox a new career-high. Kyler Clark was another key player, scoring two runs while going 2-for-3.
Alcoa always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .667. That's the best OBP they've posted all season.
Alcoa has been performing well recently as they've won eight of their last ten matchups. That's provided a nice bump to their 14-4 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 10.4 runs over those games. As for Eagleton College & Career Academy, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 9-8-1.
