Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Edgewood). Their pitcher stepped up to hand the Bassett Olympians a 17-0 shutout on Tuesday. Perhaps unsurprisingly given the team's high-flying offense, the game also marked the team's biggest victory of the season.
Raymond Tafolla made a big impact while hitting and pitching. He looked comfortable on the mound, not allowing a single earned run and allowing only one hit while striking out seven over five innings pitched. Edgewood is undefeated when Tafolla allows three or fewer hits, but 7-8 otherwise. Tafolla was also solid in the batter's box, getting on base in all four of his plate appearances with one run and one RBI.
In other batting news, Edgewood let Omar Chavez and Noah Ramirez run wild. Chavez went 2-for-4 with five stolen bases, three runs, and two RBI, while Ramirez went a perfect 2-for-2 with three RBI, two runs, and one triple. Ramirez is also on a roll when it comes to stolen bases, as he's now snagged at least one in each of the last four games he's played. Another player making a difference was Tony Madriz, who got on base in all four of his plate appearances with two runs, one double, and one RBI.
Edgewood always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .676. They are a perfect 8-0 when they post an OBP of .513 or better.
Edgewood has been performing well recently as they've won nine of their last 11 contests. That's provided a massive bump to their 12-8 record this season. Those wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 3.5 runs on average over those games. As for Bassett, they dropped their record down to 0-17 with the defeat, which was their 12th straight on the road dating back to last season.
Edgewood will have a chance to go back-to-back against the Olympians: the pair's next game is a rematch scheduled at 3:30 p.m. on Thursday.
