For whatever reason, it's the away team that's had the advantage when Orting and Eatonville meet (three straight games heading into this one) and that held true again on Tuesday. The Cardinals blew past the Cruisers 9-1. The Cardinals might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won ten contests by seven runs or more this season.
Jayden Mayfield spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered only one earned run on four hits and racked up eight Ks.
At the plate, Orting got a big performance out of Tanner Hebel, who went 3-for-4 with one run, one double, and one RBI. Those three hits gave Hebel a new career-high. The team also got some help courtesy of Jason Coombs, who got on base in two of his four plate appearances with two stolen bases, two runs, and one RBI.
They weren't the only ones making solid contact: Orting kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 11 hits. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now got at least nine hits in three consecutive games.
Orting is on a roll lately: they've won eight of their last ten matchups. That's provided a nice bump to their 12-6 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 9.9 runs over those games. As for Eatonville, the defeat snapped their winning streak at four games and leaves them with a 10-7 record.
Orting will have a chance to go back-to-back against the Cruisers: the pair's next game is a rematch scheduled at 4:00 p.m. on Wednesday.
