While Cedaredge didn't have the best season last year (they finished 7-14), it's starting to look like those struggles are a thing of the past. They put the hurt on the Grand Valley Cardinals with a sharp 10-0 victory on Thursday. The result was nothing new for the Bruins, who have now won five contests by six runs or more so far this season.
Colten Hutto was a major factor while hitting and pitching. On the mound, he kept things locked down with no earned runs or hits while striking out 11 over six innings pitched. He has been consistent recently: he hasn't given up more than two hits in four consecutive appearances. He was also big at the plate, scoring a run while going 2-for-3.
In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Dane Brown, who scored a run and stole a base while getting on base in three of his four plate appearances. Makai Salazar also deserves some recognition as he snagged his first stolen bases of the season.
Cedaredge was getting hits left and right and finished the game having posted a batting average of .387. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Grand Valley only posted a batting average of .100.
