Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Burney). They blew past the Dunsmuir Tigers 23-3 on Tuesday. With that victory, the Raiders brought their scoring average up to 7 runs per game.
Kyle Noah made a big impact while hitting and pitching. He didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only one hit while striking out nine over four innings pitched. He is becoming a predictor of Burney's success: when he allows at most three hits the team is 2-1 (and 2-8 when he doesn't). Noah was also big at the plate, scoring four runs and stealing a base while getting on base in four of his five plate appearances. That's the most runs he has posted since back in March of 2024.
In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Robbie Madden, who scored three runs and stole two bases while going 3-for-4. He has been hot recently, having posted at least one stolen base the last three times he's played. Another player making a difference was Elliot Compton, who scored three runs while getting on base in two of his five plate appearances.
Burney always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .550. They are a perfect 4-0 when they post an OBP of .513 or better.

Those victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered a grand total of 5 runs in those games.
