Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Piute). They put the hurt on the Pinnacle Panthers with a sharp 25-1 victory on Wednesday. The result was nothing new for the Thunderbirds, who have now won seven matches by six runs or more so far this season.
Brodee Montague made a big impact no matter where he played. He looked comfortable on the mound, striking out seven batters over 3.2 innings while giving up just one earned run off three hits (and only one walk). He also tossed a walk, which is notable because Piute is undefeated when he allows at most one walk, but 5-6 otherwise. Montague was also stellar in the batter's box, going a perfect 4-for-4 with one home run, four runs, and four RBI. That's the most hits he has posted since back in August.
In other batting news, Blake Dalton was a standout: he went 3-for-4 with four RBI, one triple, and one stolen base. That's the most RBI he has posted since back in October of 2024. The team also got some help courtesy of Braige Beus, who went 3-for-4 with three runs and two RBI.
Piute kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 16 hits. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now got at least eight hits in nine consecutive games.
Piute has been performing incredibly well recently as they've won seven of their last eight contests. That's provided a massive bump to their 12-6 record this season. Those wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 11.9 runs over those games. As for Pinnacle, they are on a four-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 7-9.
Piute will have a chance to go back-to-back against the Panthers: the pair will be back at it again later today.
