Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Eugene). They put the hurt on the Linn Wildcats with a sharp 19-9 victory on Friday. The Eagles might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won 13 games by six runs or more this season.
Drew Hart was a major factor no matter where he played. He looked comfortable on the mound, striking out eight batters over five innings while giving up four earned runs off three hits. He has been nothing but reliable: he hasn't given up more than two walks in three consecutive appearances. He was even better at the plate, getting on base in all five of his plate appearances with four runs, five RBI, and one triple. Those four runs gave him a new career-high.
In other batting news, Garet Wood was incredible, getting on base in four of his five plate appearances with four runs, one stolen base, and one double. Those four runs gave him a new career-high. Another player making a difference was Jeffrey Schulte, who got on base in four of his five plate appearances with one double and one RBI.
Eugene kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 12 hits. That's a new trend for them: they were averaging 5 hits per game earlier this season, but in their last 15 matchups they've averaged 10.4.
Eugene has been performing incredibly well recently as they've won 13 of their last 14 contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 22-8 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.7 runs on average over those games. As for Linn, their loss dropped their record down to 12-17.
As of now, neither Eugene nor the Wildcats have any future games scheduled.
