Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Dayspring Christian Academy). Everything went their way against the Monte Vista Pirates on Friday as they made off with a 17-8 victory. The result was nothing new for the Eagles, who have now won ten matchups by nine runs or more so far this season.
Gage Davis and Logan Vaniddekinge were major factors no matter where they played. On the mound, Davis didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only two hits over four innings pitched. Meanwhile, Vaniddekinge pitched three innings while giving up just one earned (and three unearned) runs off two hits. Davis has been nothing but reliable on the mound: he hasn't given up more than two walks in eight consecutive appearances. At bat, Davis went 3-for-5 with six RBI, two runs, and one double, while Vaniddekinge went 3-for-5 with three RBI and one double. That's the most hits Vaniddekinge has posted since back in May of 2024.
