Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Pleasant Hill). They were the clear victors by a 22-2 margin over the Harrisburg Eagles on Tuesday. The win continues a trend for the Billies in their matchups with the Eagles: they've now won nine in a row.
Will Sheva made a big impact no matter where he played. He tossed three innings while giving up no earned runs off three hits. He has been nothing but reliable on the mound: he hasn't given up more than one walk in three consecutive appearances. He was even better at the plate, getting on base in four of his five plate appearances with three stolen bases, four runs, and two RBI. Those three stolen bases gave him a new career-high.
In other batting news, Caleb VanOrdstrand and Judah Kelso did most of the damage at the plate: VanOrdstrand got on base in all five of his plate appearances with five stolen bases, four runs, and two RBI, while Kelso got on base in three of his five plate appearances with three stolen bases, three RBI, and two runs. VanOrdstrand is becoming a predictor of Pleasant Hill's success: when he posts at least two runs the team is undefeated (and 4-5-1 when he doesn't). Miles Marts also deserves some recognition as he brought in his first RBI of the season.
