15 must be Grimsley's lucky number: they beat Ben L. Smith with that score not once but twice on Friday. The Whirlies didn't even let the Golden Eagles on the board, marking the Whirlies' second-straight 15-0 shutout. Considering the Whirlies have won nine matchups by more than six runs this season, Friday's blowout was nothing new.
Barrett LaFrance was a major factor while hitting and pitching. On the mound, he struck out six batters over two innings while giving up no earned runs off one hit (and not a single walk). He has been nothing but reliable: he hasn't given up more than one walk in four consecutive appearances. He was also solid in the batter's box, going 1-for-2 with two runs, one double, and one RBI. Those two runs gave him a new career-high.
In other pitching news, Nathan Gray looked comfortable as he tossed one inning while giving up no earned runs or hits. He has been consistent: he hasn't given up more than two hits in seven consecutive appearances.
Back at the plate, Davis Cook was incredible, getting on base in all three of his plate appearances with three runs, one triple, and one RBI. Those three runs gave him a new career-high. Another player making a difference was Adam Takacs, who went 1-for-2 with three runs and one stolen base.
The win made it two in a row for Grimsley and bumps their season record up to 20-4. The victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 15.0 runs over those games. As for Ben L. Smith, they are on a seven-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 3-14.
As of now, neither Grimsley nor the Golden Eagles have any future games scheduled.
