King Academy won the last time they faced Wardlaw Academy and things went their way on Thursday too. The Knights put the hurt on the Patriots with a sharp 8-1 victory. The Knights might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won six games by seven runs or more this season.
Elijah Hutto made a splash while hitting and pitching. He looked comfortable on the mound, striking out eight batters over seven innings while giving up just one earned run off four hits (and not a single walk). He has become a key player for King Academy: the team is undefeated when he allows at most one earned run, but 4-5 otherwise. Hutto was also solid in the batter's box, going 2-for-3 with two runs, one stolen base, and one double. He is on a roll when it comes to stolen bases, as he's now snagged at least one in each of the last eight games he's played.
Hutto wasn't the only one making solid contact as five players wound up with at least one hit. One of them was Dallas Hill, who went 1-for-2 with one run and one RBI. Greyson Rikard also deserves some recognition as he snagged his first stolen base of the season.
King Academy always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .515. They are a perfect 4-0 when they post an OBP of .513 or better.
King Academy has been performing well recently as they've won six of their last eight matches. That's provided a nice bump to their 7-5 record this season. Those wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 10.5 runs over those games. As for Wardlaw Academy, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 3-11.
As of now, neither King Academy nor the Patriots have any future games scheduled.
