With a playoff win on the line, Mize rose to the challenge on Sunday. They were the clear victors by a 20-3 margin over the Lake Hornets. Considering the Bulldogs have won 16 contests by more than six runs this season, Sunday's blowout was nothing new.
Holder Mcalpin and Trey Myers were major factors while hitting and pitching. On the mound, Mcalpin struck out seven batters over six innings while giving up just one earned (and two unearned) runs off four hits (and only one walk). Meanwhile, Myers pitched one inning while giving up no earned runs off one hit. Mcalpin has been nothing but reliable on the mound: he hasn't tossed less than five strikeouts in ten consecutive appearances. At the plate, Mcalpin went 3-for-4 with three RBI and two doubles, while Myers got on base in four of his six plate appearances with one run. Those two doubles gave Mcalpin a new career-high.
In other batting news, Parker Himmel was incredible, going 1-for-4 with four stolen bases, three runs, and two RBI. That's the most runs he has posted since back in March. Another player making a difference was Garrison Carrell, who went 2-for-4 with two runs, two RBI, and one double.
Mize always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .533. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Lake only posted an OBP of .222.
Mize pushed their record up to 26-7 with the victory, which was their eighth straight on the road. The road wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 10.0 runs over those games. As for Lake, they moved to 17-11 with that loss, which also ended their three-game winning streak.
Mize will have a chance to go back-to-back against the Hornets: the pair's next game is a rematch scheduled at 7:00 p.m. on Monday.
