Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Thurston-Cuming County). Their pitcher stepped up to hand the Tekamah-Herman Tigers a 24-0 shutout on Monday. Perhaps unsurprisingly given the team's high-flying offense, the game also marked the team's biggest win of the season.
Jake Schuster was a major factor no matter where he played. He didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only one hit while striking out eight over four innings pitched. Those eight strikeouts gave him a new career-high. He was also stellar in the batter's box, scoring four runs and stealing a base while going 3-for-4.
