GALESBURG, Ill. — The Quincy Blue Devils continue to play solid, fundamental baseball as they extended their winning streak to five games with a 3-2 road win over Western Big 6 Conference rival Galesburg on Wednesday afternoon.<\/p>\n
The key for Quincy High’s success was once again its strong pitching as the Blue Devils defeated Galesburg for the second time in the past three days.<\/p>\n
Blue Devils starting pitcher Cameron Lawson threw three innings with four strikeouts in a no decision after allowing two hits, two walks and one earned run.<\/p>\n
Relief pitcher James Day earned the win for Quincy after pitching four innings with five strikeouts, while allowing one hit, two walks and no earned runs.<\/p>\n
“Good pitching by Cameron and James,” said QHS head coach Rick Lawson. “Good defense and found a way to get it done.”<\/p>\n
Day also came through with the big hit to put the Blue Devils ahead, a three-RBI single that scored Ty Lawson, Jacob Salisbury and Drake Gibson.<\/p>\n
Gibson went 2-for-3 with a run, while shortstop Mason Powell went 1-for-3 with a double.<\/p>\n
Silver Streaks starting pitcher TJ Heatherly threw a complete game with eight strikeouts, while allowing six hits, no walks and two earned runs in a losing effort.<\/p>\n
