Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Glades Day). They blew past the Glades Central Raiders 18-5 on Tuesday. That's the second time they've managed to beat them this season, as they also won 13-7 back in February.
Kyler Burch made a splash while hitting and pitching. He struck out seven batters over three innings while giving up three earned (and two unearned) runs off only two hits. That's the most strikeouts he has posted since back in February. He was also big at the plate, scoring three runs and stealing a base while getting on base in three of his four plate appearances. He is becoming a predictor of Glades Day's success: when he posts at least two runs the team is undefeated (and 2-9 when he doesn't).
In other batting news, James Alderman was a standout: he went 2-for-3 with three stolen bases, three runs, and four RBI. Glades Day is 5-1 when Alderman posts two or more stolen bases, but 1-8 otherwise. Isaac Perez was another key player, getting on base in all four of his plate appearances with three RBI, two runs, and one triple.
The win made it two in a row for Glades Day and bumps their season record up to 6-9. Those victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered a grand total of 6 runs in those games. As for Glades Central, they dropped their record down to 4-10 with the loss, which was their fourth straight on the road.
