Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Sunny Hills). They were the clear victors by a 14-0 margin over the South East Jaguars on Monday. That's more bragging rights for the Lancers, who also won the pair's last head-to-head.
Oliver Botch tossed a big game, not allowing a single earned run while striking out seven over 4.2 innings pitched. Those seven strikeouts gave him a new career-high.
On the hitting side, Sunny Hills got a massive performance out of Andrew Choi, who went a perfect 2-for-2 with four RBI, two runs, and one double. That's the most runs Choi has posted since back in March of 2024. The team also got some help courtesy of Andre Katayama, who scored three runs and stole two bases while getting on base in three of his four plate appearances.
Sunny Hills always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .529. That's the best OBP they've posted all season.
The win made it two in a row for Sunny Hills and bumps their season record up to 3-13. The victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered a grand total of 1 runs in those games. As for South East, they have been struggling recently as they've lost nine of their last 12 matches. That's put a noticeable dent in their 5-11 record this season.
