Two teams were on the hunt for playoff glory, but only Ellinwood walked away with it. They put the hurt on the Bennington Bulldogs with a sharp 19-11 win on Friday. Considering the Eagles have won nine games by more than five runs this season, Friday's blowout was nothing new.
Cohen Gunn made a splash no matter where he played. He struck out seven batters over 3.1 innings while giving up just one earned (and one unearned) run off six hits (and not a single walk). He has been consistent: he hasn't given up more than one earned run in eight consecutive appearances. He was also solid in the batter's box, going 2-for-4 with two runs and two RBI. He is becoming a predictor of Ellinwood's success: when he posts at least two runs the team is 9-4 (and 5-7 when he doesn't).
In other batting news, Trace Tudor was a standout: he got on base in four of his five plate appearances with four runs and two RBI. Ellinwood is undefeated when Tudor posts two or more runs, but 9-11 otherwise. Cooper Gunn was another key player, getting on base in three of his five plate appearances with three RBI, two runs, and one double.
The victory was the sixth in a row for Ellinwood, bringing their record up to 14-11. The wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 13.8 runs over those games. As for Bennington, their defeat ended a four-game streak of away wins and brought them to 7-14.
As of now, neither Ellinwood nor the Bulldogs have any future games scheduled.
