Weston had to skate by with only a two-run margin when they last took the field, which might have inspired the ten-run drubbing they dealt Brookline on Thursday. The Wildcats put the hurt on the Warriors with a sharp 11-1 win. Considering the Wildcats have won four matches by more than five runs this season, Thursday's blowout was nothing new.
Aidan Murphy made a big impact no matter where he played. He looked comfortable on the mound, striking out nine batters over five innings while giving up just one earned run off two hits (and only one walk). He has been nothing but reliable: he hasn't given up more than one earned run in three consecutive appearances. He was also stellar in the batter's box, going 2-for-3 with two runs, two doubles, and one stolen base.
In other batting news, Dylan Conley and Massimo Buchbinder did most of the damage at the plate: Conley went a perfect 1-for-1 with two RBI, one run, and one double, while Buchbinder went a perfect 2-for-2 with two RBI, one run, and one double. That double was Buchbinder's first of the season. Another player making a difference was Owen Jorajuria, who went 1-for-3 with two runs, one double, and one RBI.
Weston always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .633. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Brookline only posted an OBP of .158.
