With wins over Boyd Buchanan, McCallie, and now Gordon Lee over its last three games, belief is soaring for the Silverdale Baptist baseball team amidst its toughest stretch of the regular season.
The Seahawks showcased a patient approach at the plate in Monday’s 13-9 home victory over Gordon Lee, the defending GHSA Class A state champions, as they drew 12 walks and also had six batters reach base after being hit by pitch. While senior Caleb Voss’ RBI double was Silverdale’s lone extra-base hit, it was one of 11 key hits for an offense that also excelled on the basepaths with 10 stolen bases.
“This has been a good stretch for us,” Silverdale head coach Lance Rorex said after challenging his team to continue working to get better as they will host Division II-AA powerhouse and nationally ranked Baylor on Tuesday.
“Winning our last three games against Boyd, McCallie, and Gordon Lee has given our guys a little belief that they can play with some really good teams. Belief is everything. Belief drives behavior. Our guys had a plan and approach at the plate today and did a great job sticking to that. They put us on a good bit, and we got hits when it mattered.”
