Peyton Modich was a major factor no matter where he played. He looked comfortable on the mound, not allowing a single earned run and allowing only two hits while striking out six over five innings pitched. Modich was also big at the plate, going 2-for-4 with three RBI and one double. Those three RBI gave him a new career-high.
In other batting news, Carsen Ellis was incredible, going 2-for-3 with three runs, three RBI, and one triple. He is becoming a predictor of Cherryvale's success: when he posts at least two runs the team is undefeated (and 2-12 when he doesn't). Another player making a difference was Levi Borton, who went 1-for-2 with two stolen bases and one run.
Cherryvale always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .515. That was just more of the same: they've now posted an OBP of .515 or higher in three consecutive games.
Cherryvale pushed their record up to 7-12 with the win, which was their third straight on the road. Those road victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 21.7 runs over those games. As for Bluestem, they moved to 8-9 with that loss, which also ended their four-game winning streak.
Cherryvale will have a chance to go back-to-back against the Lions: the pair will be back at it again later today.
