Last Wednesday, the Hurricanes took on Cornerstone Christian and won in a high-scoring affair, 13-11.
After an early deficit, the Hurricanes played to their individual roles which propelled them to the comeback, team victory. Senior James Trunkett settled down on the mound and consistently threw strikes.
Early on, Trunkett had trouble finding the strike zone and issued too many walks. It was very cold during this game, but walks led to a lethargic defense behind him. Once he started pounding the zone, the defense assisted him in making plays to prevent Cornerstone from scoring more runs.
Offensively, juniors Jeremiah Gonzalez, Angel Hernandez, and Nate Wilson have struggled at the plate throughout the season, but in the win, they all had multiple hits, hopefully boosting their confidence.
Additionally, junior Derek Wrost had three hits as well to propel the Hurricane offense to plate 13 runs.
Great win, boys!
