Fueled by attack-mode hitting and pinpoint pitching, the Redmond High School baseball team is firing on all cylinders.

The Mustangs won their ninth-straight game Tuesday night, edging Inglemoor, 4-3, in a Kingco 4A contest at Hartman Field.

Redmond started the season 0-7, but now sports an overall record of 9-7 and holds the No. 2 spot in the Crest Division at 6-4 — two games behind division-leading Skyline.

“We are kind of a gritty ball club right now,” said coach Dan Pudwill. “We are doing a lot of things well. We are playing very good defense … we are getting great pitching and we scrap together runs somehow, someway.”

Senior Adam Cline, the Mustangs’ workhorse on the mound, pitched his third complete game of season against the Vikings. After a shaky start when he allowed six hits and three runs in the first three innings, Cline got into a groove and allowed just one single and no runs in the final four innings.

Cline earned his third win during Redmond’s win streak to even his record at 3-3 and owns a team-low 2.10 ERA.

Cline has pitched in five games, with three starts, during the Mustangs’ nine-game surge, allowing five earned runs in 25 2/3 innings pitched. But Cline is not the only Mustang hurler who is hitting his spring stride. Fellow senior starting pitchers Peter Hendron and Kirk Gysler are a combined 5-0 during the win streak and both have sub-3.0 ERAs heading into Thursday’s matchup against Eastlake.

“We have some good pitching,” Cline said after Tuesday’s win. “Guys have been able to come out and deal every day.”

After the slow start to the season, Cline admitted he was a bit worried if he and the other pitchers would get enough run support from the offense.

“It was pretty rough,” Cline said of the 0-7 start. “I was starting to get a little worried. But guys started to get aggressive and things are turning around.”

One of those guys is junior left-handed designated hitter Brent Firth, who hit an opposite-field solo home run against the Vikings to tie the game at 1 in the second inning. It was Firth’s second home run of the season and seventh RBI, which ranks second on the team.

“He’s been swinging a great bat for us lately,” said Pudwill. “He’s really found his swing. He’s doing a great job of hitting to all fields.”

Firth, a first-year varsity player, said the Mustangs have eliminated the early season mistakes and taken a more aggressive approach at the plate that has translated into wins.

“All the guys have stepped up at the plate and that’s made a big difference,” said Firth, who is batting .473 and has three two-hit games during Redmond’s win streak. “We don’t have to throw shut outs to win games now.”

That attack mentality at the plate has sparked Redmond’s turnaround, according to Pudwill.

“We’re scoring more runs,” Pudwill said. “We’re have been getting better at bats and being more aggressive. We are making other teams defend us.”

The Mustangs managed just six hits against Vikings, but they put the ball in play and took advantage of three Inglemoor errors to scratch out three unearned runs, including two in the fifth inning that gave Redmond a 4-3 lead.

Senior Patrick McGrath had a single in the third inning and then scored the go-ahead run in the fifth inning on a wild pitch by Inglemoor pitcher Lucas Winmer. Sophomore Brandon Burditt had two hits and scored two runs for the Mustangs against Inglemoor. Senior Peyton Lutz added an opposite-field triple in the win against the Vikings.

This season’s Mustangs no longer have the big bats in the lineup after losing three Division I players — Micheal Conforto, Dylan Davis and Zach Abruzza — to graduation, but they are finding ways to win as new players are stepping up.

“We did lose some good hitting,” Cline said. “But we can play some good small ball.”

That aggressive small-ball approach is producing some big wins for the Mustangs, who look to avenge an early-season loss to district rival Eastlake and equal last season’s win streak of 10 games with a road matchup Thursday against the Wolves. First pitch is at 4 p.m.
