Bentley barely beat Genesee Christian the last time the pair played, but that sure wasn't the case this time around. The Bulldogs never let the Soldiers get on the board and left with a 6-0 victory on Monday. Considering the Bulldogs have won five games by more than five runs this season, Monday's blowout was nothing new.
Hunter Trottier made a big impact no matter where he played. He didn't allow a single earned run while striking out nine over 6.1 innings pitched. He has been consistent recently: he hasn't given up more than one earned run in three consecutive appearances. He was also solid in the batter's box, going 2-for-4 with one stolen base, one run, and one double.
Trottier wasn't the only one making solid contact as five players wound up with at least one hit. One of them was Dominic Star, who went 2-for-4 with two runs and one stolen base. Star is becoming a predictor of Bentley's success: when he posts at least two runs the team is 2-1 (and 5-6 when he doesn't).
The win was the fourth in a row for Bentley, bringing their record up to 7-7. Those victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 3.5 runs on average over those games. As for Genesee Christian, their loss dropped their record down to 5-11.
The future could be bright for both Bentley and Genesee Christian: their next opponents haven't had the best luck recently. The Bulldogs will try to hand Bridgeport their sixth-straight defeat when the two meet at 4:00 p.m. on Thursday. Meanwhile, Genesee Christian will look to extend Oakland Christian's three-game losing streak when they meet at 4:00 p.m. on Thursday.
