After having lost a blowout in their previous game against Farragut, Kennedy was happy to have turned things around on Friday. They put the hurt on the Hillcrest Hawks with a sharp 9-3 win. The result was nothing new for the Crusaders, who have now won 13 games by six runs or more so far this season.
Nicholas Reyes spent all six innings played on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered three earned runs on six hits and racked up ten Ks.
At the plate, the team relied heavily on Alec Mendoza, who went 3-for-4 with two triples, two stolen bases, and three runs. Those two triples gave him a new career-high. Mason Rychetsky was another key player, getting on base in three of his four plate appearances with one home run and two RBI.
Kennedy always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .514. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Hillcrest only posted an OBP of .360.
