Washington typically has all the answers at home, but on Thursday Manchester Academy proved too difficult a challenge. They blew past the Generals 17-4. The Mavericks might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won 18 contests by six runs or more this season.
Jon Parker Dees made a splash while hitting and pitching. He looked comfortable on the mound, striking out eight batters over 6.2 innings while giving up three earned (and one unearned) runs off four hits. That's the most strikeouts he has posted since back in March of 2024. He was also big at the plate, scoring three runs while getting on base in four of his six plate appearances.
In other batting news, Manchester Academy got a massive performance out of Adam Edger, who scored four runs while getting on base in all five of his plate appearances. That's the most runs Edger has posted since back in April of 2024. Grant Nixon was another key player, scoring two runs and stealing a base while getting on base in three of his five plate appearances.
Manchester Academy always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .587. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Washington only posted an OBP of .312.
Manchester Academy is on a roll lately: they've won eight of their last nine matches. That's provided a nice bump to their 26-7 record this season. Those wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.9 runs on average over those games. As for Washington, the defeat snapped their winning streak at nine games and leaves them with a 22-5 record.
Manchester Academy will have a chance to go back-to-back against the Generals: the pair will be back at it again later today.
