Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Maryville). Everything went their way against the Cameron Dragons on Thursday as they made off with an 11-1 win. The team's explosion at the plate also rewarded the Spoofhounds with their most commanding win of the season.
Grant Smail spent all six innings played on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered only one earned run on five hits and racked up ten Ks.
At the plate, Will McCollough was a standout: he scored two runs while going 3-for-4. Those three hits gave him a new career-high. Gavin McAtee also deserves some recognition as he hit his first double of the season.
McCollough wasn't the only one making solid contact: Maryville kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 11 hits. That's a new trend for the Spoofhounds: they were averaging 3.8 hits per game earlier this season, but in their last 15 contests they've averaged 10.2.
Maryville's victory was their fifth straight at home, which pushed their record up to 9-6. The home wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.4 runs on average over those games. As for Cameron, they now have a losing record of 4-5.
Both squads are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. Maryville will square off against Lathrop at 4:30 p.m. on Monday. As for Cameron, they will face off against Barstow at 4:30 p.m. on Friday. The Dragons are facing the Knights at the right time seeing as the Knights are stuck on an eight-game losing streak.
