Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask West Shamokin). Their pitcher stepped up to hand the Purchase Line Red Dragons a 14-0 shutout on Tuesday. With that victory, the Wolves brought their scoring average up to 7.2 runs per game.
Luke McCullough made a splash no matter where he played. He looked comfortable on the mound, not allowing a single earned run and allowed only one hit over five innings pitched. McCullough was also solid in the batter's box, scoring a run while getting on base in all three of his plate appearances.
In other batting news, the team relied heavily on JJ Cessna, who scored three runs and stole two bases while going 3-for-4. Those stolen bases marked the first that he snagged this season. Another player making a difference was Logan Geist, who scored a run and stole two bases while going 1-for-1.
