Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Dacula). They put the hurt on the Central Gwinnett Black Knights with a sharp 21-3 victory on Tuesday. The result was nothing new for the Falcons, who have now won 11 matches by six runs or more so far this season.
Grant Dzikowski was a major factor while hitting and pitching. He looked comfortable on the mound, pitching one inning while giving up no earned runs or hits. Dzikowski was also stellar in the batter's box, scoring three runs and stealing four bases while going 1-for-4. Those four stolen bases gave him a new career-high.
In other pitching news, Cody Bullard looked comfortable as he pitched three innings while giving up just two earned (and one unearned) runs off one hit.
Back at the plate, Logan Peralta and Reiston Durham did most of the damage at the plate: Peralta went 3-for-4 with three RBI, one triple, and one stolen base, while Durham scored three runs and stole two bases while getting on base in four of his five plate appearances. Those three hits gave Peralta a new career-high. Brian Montgomery also deserves some recognition as he snagged his first stolen base of the season.
Dacula kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 11 hits. They are a perfect 7-0 when they post 11 or more hits.
The win (which was Dacula's fourth in a row) raised their record to 13-10. Those victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.5 runs on average over those games. As for Central Gwinnett, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 6-16.
Dacula will have a chance to go back-to-back against the Black Knights: the pair's next game is a rematch scheduled at 5:45 p.m. on Wednesday.
