There's no place like home for Dekaney, who bounced back after a loss on the road last Thursday. They put the hurt on the Nimitz Cougars with a sharp 11-1 victory on Tuesday. Considering the Wildcats have won 12 games by more than six runs this season, Tuesday's blowout was nothing new.
Michael Hayes made a big impact while hitting and pitching. He didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only two hits while striking out 12 over five innings pitched. Those 12 strikeouts gave him a new career-high. He was also big at the plate, going 1-for-3 with one triple and one run.
In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Micah Green, who got on base in all four of his plate appearances with one home run, five RBI, and three runs. He is becoming a predictor of Dekaney's success: when he posts at least two runs the team is 6-1 (and 10-13 when he doesn't). Another player making a difference was Anthony Cruz, who got on base in three of his four plate appearances with two runs.
Dekaney always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .545. They are 12-1 when they post an OBP of .513 or better.
Dekaney's record is now 16-14. As for Nimitz, they have been struggling recently as they've lost six of their last seven contests. That's put a noticeable dent in their 6-16 record this season.
Dekaney will have a chance to go back-to-back against Nimitz: the pair's next game is a rematch scheduled at 6:00 p.m. on Friday.
