Two teams were on the hunt for playoff glory, but only Cape Hatteras walked away with it. They put the hurt on the Wilson Prep Tigers with a sharp 10-2 win on Tuesday. The Hurricanes might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won eight matches by seven runs or more this season.
Trae Wyatt was a major factor no matter where he played. He looked comfortable on the mound, striking out 13 batters over 5.1 innings while giving up just one earned (and one unearned) run off six hits. He is becoming a predictor of Cape Hatteras' success: when he allows at most three earned runs the team is undefeated (and 7-8 when he doesn't). Wyatt was also big at the plate, getting on base in three of his five plate appearances with one stolen base and one RBI.
In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Wyatt Cannon, who went 3-for-4 with six RBI. Those three hits gave him a new career-high. Another player making a difference was Graham Stutts, who went 1-for-4 with one run and one double.
The victory made it two in a row for Cape Hatteras and bumps their season record up to 11-8. The wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered a grand total of 4 runs in those games. As for Wilson Prep, they are on a four-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 10-8.
Looking ahead, Cape Hatteras will face off against Voyager Academy on Friday. The Vikings will roll in looking for their ninth straight victory, something the Hurricanes surely won't give up without a fight. Wilson Prep does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
