Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Riverview). They put the hurt on the Richard Pioneers with a sharp 16-2 victory on Thursday. The team's explosion at the plate also rewarded the Pirates with their most commanding win of the season.
Noah Worthy looked comfortable as he pitched three innings while giving up just two earned runs off one hit. The dominant performance also gave him a new career-high in strikeouts (five).
On the hitting side, Brennen Fritz was incredible, going a perfect 2-for-2 with three stolen bases, three runs, and one RBI. Those two hits gave him a new career-high. Another player making a difference was Lucas Hill, who went a perfect 1-for-1 with three runs and one RBI.
Riverview always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .514. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Richard only posted an OBP of .235.
Riverview pushed their record up to 7-18 with the win, which was their fourth straight on the road. The road victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 3.8 runs on average over those games. As for Richard, they have been struggling recently as they've lost seven of their last eight contests. That's put a noticeable dent in their 1-13-1 record this season.
Both teams will have to hit the road in their upcoming games. Riverview will challenge Lincoln at 9:00 a.m. on Saturday. As for Richard, they will face off against Lincoln Park at 4:00 p.m. on Friday. The Pioneers are facing the Railsplitters at the right time seeing as the Railsplitters are stuck on an eight-game losing streak.
