Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Mansfield Summit). They were the clear victor by a 17-7 margin over the Seguin Cougars on Friday. The victory continues a trend for the Jaguars in their matchups with the Cougars: they've now won nine in a row.
Clarence ?C3? Nevels III made a big impact while hitting and pitching. He looked comfortable on the mound, tossing one inning while giving up no earned runs or hits. He has been nothing but reliable: he hasn't given up more than one earned run in four consecutive appearances. He was also big at the plate, scoring two runs while getting on base in four of his five plate appearances. He is becoming a predictor of Mansfield Summit's success: when he posts at least two runs the team is undefeated (and 1-13 when he doesn't).
In other batting news, Marcus Johnson and Anthony York did most of the damage at the plate: Johnson scored a run and stole a base while getting on base in three of his four plate appearances, while York scored three runs while getting on base in all five of his plate appearances. Mansfield Summit is 3-1 when York posts two or more runs, but 3-12 otherwise. The team also got some help courtesy of Zachary Randall, who scored two runs and stole a base while getting on base in three of his five plate appearances.
Mansfield Summit always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .650. The team's really been improving in that area: they've now improved their OBP total in four consecutive contests.
