Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Red Bluff). They blew past the Enterprise Hornets 18-2 on Friday. The Spartans might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won eight contests by six runs or more this season.
Ryan Ross and Cooper Sides made a splash while hitting and pitching. On the mound, Ross pitched one inning while giving up no earned runs off one hit. Meanwhile, Sides struck out nine batters over four innings while giving up just one earned (and one unearned) run off five hits. Ross has been nothing but reliable on the mound: he hasn't given up more than two hits in five consecutive appearances. At the plate, Ross went 2-for-4 with two runs, two RBI, and one double, while Sides went 3-for-4 with three RBI and one double. Those three hits gave Sides a new career-high.
In other batting news, Mason Lyford was a standout: he went 2-for-4 with two stolen bases, three runs, and two RBI. That's the most RBI he has posted since back in March. The team also got some help courtesy of Kelan Elliott, who went a perfect 2-for-2 with two runs, one stolen base, and one RBI.
Red Bluff kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 16 hits. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now got at least eight hits in 13 consecutive matchups.
Red Bluff's win was their fifth straight on the road, which pushed their record up to 16-9. Those road victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.2 runs on average over those games. As for Enterprise, they have traveled a rocky road recently, having lost 16 of their last 18 games. That's put a noticeable dent in their 8-20 record this season.
Red Bluff will venture away from home to square off against Eureka at 1:00 p.m. on Monday. The Loggers will roll in looking for their fifth straight win, something the Spartans surely won't give up without a fight. Enterprise does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
