Akron barely beat Holyoke the last time the pair played, but that sure wasn't the case this time around. The Rams never let the Dragons get on the board and left with a 15-0 victory on Tuesday. The result was nothing new for the Rams, who have now won eight contests by nine runs or more so far this season.
Alex Bowin made a big impact no matter where he played. He looked comfortable on the mound, pitching three innings while giving up no earned runs or hits. He has been nothing but reliable: he hasn't given up more than one hit in three consecutive appearances. He was also solid in the batter's box, going a perfect 2-for-2 with one triple, two RBI, and one double. That double marked the first that he hit this season.
In other batting news, Anderson Filla was incredible, scoring two runs and stealing two bases while going 2-for-2. What's more, he posted two RBI, the most he's had over his last 12 matches. Jace Curtis also deserves some recognition as he got his first hit of the season.
Akron always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .633. That was just more of the same: they've now posted an OBP of .579 or higher in four consecutive games.
