Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Granite Hills). They put the hurt on the El Capitan Vaqueros with a sharp 14-1 win on Tuesday. The result was nothing new for the Eagles, who have now won five matchups by six runs or more so far this season.
Luke Bailey tossed a big game, striking out seven batters over five innings while giving up just one earned run off three hits. He has been nothing but reliable on the mound: he hasn't tossed less than seven strikeouts in four consecutive appearances.
At the plate, Granite Hills got a massive performance out of Trevor Smith, who scored three runs and stole two bases while getting on base in all five of his plate appearances. That's the most stolen bases Smith has posted since back in April of 2024. Luke Schutza also deserves some recognition as he scored his first run of the season.
Granite Hills always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .543. That's the best OBP they've posted all season.
The victory keeps Granite Hills at an undefeated 11-0-2. The wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.0 run on average over those games. As for El Capitan, they now have a losing record of 7-8.
Granite Hills will have a chance to go back-to-back against the Vaqueros: the pair's next game is a rematch scheduled at 4:00 p.m. on Thursday.
