Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Kingstree). Everything went their way against the Mullins Auctioneers on Thursday as they made off with a 16-6 win. The high-scoring effort was just what the Blazers needed considering they were shut out in their previous game.
Meltrin Segars made a splash no matter where he played. On the mound, he struck out eight batters over five innings while giving up four earned (and two unearned) runs off six hits. Those eight strikeouts gave him a new career-high. He was also stellar in the batter's box, getting on base in three of his four plate appearances with four stolen bases, two RBI, and one run. Those RBI were his first of the season.
In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Makhi Shaw, who went 1-for-3 with four stolen bases and three runs. Those three runs gave him a new career-high. Zy'Marreon Mcknight was another key player, going 2-for-4 with two stolen bases, three runs, and one RBI.
Kingstree's victory was their first in the region, bumping their region record up to 1-9 and their overall record up to 3-9. As for Mullins, their loss was their seventh straight at home, which dropped their record down to 1-17.
Kingstree will have some time to savor their win since their next game is a little ways off: they'll take on Atlantic Collegiate Academy at 6:30 p.m. on the 29th. The Armada's pitching crew has only allowed 3.6 runs per game this season, so the Blazers' hitters will have their work cut out for them. Mullins does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
