At the plate, False River let Wyatt Orilion and Cruz Pourciau run wild. Orilion went a perfect 2-for-2 with one home run, three stolen bases, and two RBI, while Pourciau scored three runs and stole five bases while going 2-for-3. Pourciau is becoming a predictor of False River's success: when he posts at least two runs the team is 2-1 (and 1-16-1 when he doesn't). The team also got some help courtesy of Wyatt Heine, who scored a run and stole a base while going 2-for-2.
They weren't the only one making solid contact: False River kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 13 hits. That's a new trend for them: they were averaging 4.9 hits per game earlier this season, but in their last 15 contests they've averaged 11.8.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask White Castle). They blew past North Iberville 16-5 on Tuesday. The victory was some much needed relief for the Bulldogs as it spelled an end to their eight-game losing streak.
False River pushed their record up to 3-17-1 with the win, which was their third straight at home. The team dominated over that stretch too, winning by an average of 9.7 runs. As for White Castle, they picked up their first road victory, bumping their record up to 2-16.
False River took their win against White Castle when the teams last played on Friday by a conclusive 17-1 score. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Gators since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
