Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Kentlake). They never let the Kent-Meridian Royals get on the board and left with a 26-0 victory on Friday. The result was nothing new for the Falcons, who have now won six contests by nine runs or more so far this season.
Noah Adams and Christopher Moore made a splash no matter where they played. Throwing, Adams pitched one inning while giving up no earned runs or hits. Meanwhile, Moore tossed three innings while giving up no earned runs off two hits. At bat, Adams went 3-for-4 with four stolen bases, three runs, and three RBI, while Moore got on base in four of his six plate appearances with three RBI and two runs. Adams is becoming a predictor of Kentlake's success: when he posts at least two runs the team is 7-1 (and 3-4-1 when he doesn't).
In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Lincoln Moore, who got on base in four of his six plate appearances with three stolen bases, three runs, and three RBI. Those three runs gave him a new career-high. Another player making a difference was Juan Hernandez, who went a perfect 2-for-2 with three RBI, two runs, and one double.
Kentlake 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.
