La Pine barely beat Pleasant Hill the last time the pair played, but that sure wasn't the case this time around. The Hawks never let the Billies get on the board and left with a 10-0 victory on Friday. The Hawks might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won five games by seven runs or more this season.
Dylan Newton and Russo Wrightman were major factors no matter where they played. Throwing, Newton tossed 2.1 innings while giving up no earned runs or hits. Meanwhile, Wrightman pitched 2.2 innings while giving up no earned runs off one hit. He also tossed no earned runs, which is notable because La Pine is 4-1 when he allows at most one earned run, but 2-6 otherwise. At bat, Newton went 1-for-2 with one triple, one run, and one RBI, while Wrightman got on base in three of his four plate appearances with two runs and one double. That triple was Newton's first of the season.
In other batting news, Davey Taylor was incredible, getting on base in three of his four plate appearances with four stolen bases and three runs. He is becoming a predictor of La Pine's success: when he posts at least two runs the team is undefeated (and 3-7 when he doesn't). Elijah Sparrow also deserves some recognition as he hit his first double of the season.
