Crete-Monee barely beat Thornwood the last time the pair played, but that sure wasn't the case this time around. The Warriors put the hurt on the Thunderbirds with a sharp 14-2 win on Monday. Considering the Warriors have won 12 matchups by more than six runs this season, Monday's blowout was nothing new.
Timothy Gaddis was a major factor no matter where he played. He struck out six batters over six innings while giving up just two earned runs off four hits. That's the most strikeouts he has posted since back in April. He was also solid in the batter's box, getting on base in two of his five plate appearances with two runs, one stolen base, and two RBI. Crete-Monee is 6-1 when Gaddis posts two or more runs, but 7-9 otherwise.
In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Bren Milburn, who got on base in all five of his plate appearances with four stolen bases, three runs, and one triple. He is becoming a predictor of Crete-Monee's success: when he posts at least two stolen bases the team is 8-4 (and 5-6 when he doesn't). Another player making a difference was Carlos Aguilar, who went 1-for-2 with three stolen bases, one run, and one RBI.
Crete-Monee always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .514. They are a perfect 7-0 when they post an OBP of .513 or better.
Crete-Monee is on a roll lately: they've won six of their last eight contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 13-10 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 11.1 runs over those games. As for Thornwood, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 10-8.
