Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Holy Cross). Their pitchers stepped up to hand the Edna Karr Cougars a 20-0 shutout on Thursday. Considering the Tigers have won 13 matches by more than five runs this season, Thursday's blowout was nothing new.
Matthew Watson looked comfortable as he tossed one inning while giving up no earned runs or hits. He has been consistent recently: he hasn't given up more than two walks in four consecutive appearances.
On the hitting side, Holy Cross got a massive performance out of Carter Spencer, who went a perfect 2-for-2 with one home run, three runs, and three RBI. Those three runs gave Spencer a new career-high. The team also got some help courtesy of Hayden Derbes, who got on base in all three of his plate appearances with one home run, three runs, and two RBI.
Holy Cross always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .630. That's the best OBP they've posted all season.
The victory (which was Holy Cross' third in a row) raised their record to 24-4. Those wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 13.0 runs over those games. As for Edna Karr, they are on a 12-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 5-14.
Holy Cross will have a chance to go back-to-back against the Cougars: the pair's next game is a rematch scheduled at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday.
