After having lost a blowout in their previous game against Cathedral Prep, McDowell was happy to have turned things around on Monday. Their pitchers stepped up to hand the Warren Dragons a 9-0 shutout. The result was nothing new for the Trojans, who have now won six matches by seven runs or more so far this season.
Ethan Bechtold tossed a big game, not allowing a single earned run and allowing only two hits while striking out ten over five innings pitched. He has been consistent: he hasn't given up more than one earned run any time he's pitched this season.
On the hitting side, the team relied heavily on Evan Stranko, who went 2-for-3 with two doubles, one stolen base, and two RBI. That's the most doubles he has posted since back in March. Another player making a difference was Quentin Orlando, who went a perfect 1-for-1 with three RBI, one run, and one double.
McDowell is on a roll lately: they've won eight of their last nine games. That's provided a nice bump to their 9-3 record this season. The victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.0 runs on average over those games. As for Warren, they are on a nine-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 0-9.
Looking ahead, McDowell will head out to face off against Erie at 4:30 p.m. on Wednesday. The Royals have struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed 8.9 runs per game on average), something the Trojans will no doubt try to take advantage of. Warren has already played their next contest (against Fort LeBoeuf), but no score has been uploaded at the time of writing.
