Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Taylorsville). They put the hurt on the Leake County Gators with a sharp 15-0 win on Tuesday. The Tartars might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won seven matches by six runs or more this season.
Taylorsville let Reco Crosby and Noah Westbrook run wild. Crosby scored three runs and stole two bases while going 3-for-3, while Westbrook scored two runs and stole a base while going 2-for-2. Westbrook has become a key player for Taylorsville: the team is 5-1 when he posts at least two runs, but 4-8 otherwise. Cage Blakeney also deserves some recognition as he hit his first double of the season.
