Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Canton). They came out on top against Williamson by a score of 15-10 on Monday. This was a revenge game for Canton: when they faced off against Williamson back in April, they had to take a 22-13 loss.
Holden Ward made a big impact no matter where he played. He struck out six batters over two innings while giving up no earned runs off one hit (and only one walk). That's the most strikeouts he has posted since back in May of 2024. He was even better at the plate, going 2-for-4 with one home run, three RBI, and two runs.
In other batting news, Zach Colton was incredible, getting on base in four of his five plate appearances with two stolen bases, three RBI, and two runs. He is becoming a predictor of Canton's success: when he posts at least two runs the team is undefeated (and 2-8 when he doesn't). The team also got some help courtesy of Bailey Gardner, who went 2-for-5 with two stolen bases, three runs, and one double.
Canton always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .548. That's the best OBP they've posted all season.
Canton is on a roll lately: they've won three of their last four contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 5-8 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 10.0 runs over those games. As for Williamson, they have traveled a rocky road recently, having lost six of their last seven games. That's put a noticeable dent in their 3-8 record this season.
