Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Somerset). They put the hurt on the Westmont Hilltop Hilltoppers with a sharp 16-3 win on Tuesday. Perhaps unsurprisingly given the team's high-flying offense, the game also marked the team's biggest victory of the season.
Garrett Reese looked comfortable as he tossed three innings while giving up just one earned (and one unearned) run off five hits. He has been consistent recently: he hasn't given up more than one earned run in three consecutive appearances.
On the hitting side, Somerset let Cole Lucas and Zane Hagans run wild. Lucas scored three runs and stole a base while going 3-for-4, while Hagans scored two runs while going 2-for-3. What's more, Hagans posted two doubles, the most he's had since back in March of 2024. Another player making a difference was Max Means, who scored two runs while going 1-for-2.
Somerset always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .600. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Westmont Hilltop only posted an OBP of .440.
