Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Custer County). They blew past the Centennial Rams 29-1 on Thursday. Perhaps unsurprisingly given the team's high-flying offense, the game also marked the team's biggest victory of the season.
Wyatt Grundy made a splash no matter where he played. On the mound, he pitched two innings while giving up no earned runs off two hits. Grundy was even better at the plate, getting on base in three of his four plate appearances with three runs, two RBI, and one double. He is becoming a predictor of Custer County's success: when he posts at least two runs the team is undefeated (and 1-6 when he doesn't).
