Two teams were on the hunt for playoff glory, but only Good Hope walked away with it. They put the hurt on the Danville Hawks with a sharp 13-5 win on Saturday. Considering the Raiders have won 16 matches by more than five runs this season, Saturday's blowout was nothing new.

The victory (which was Good Hope's sixth in a row) raised their record to 23-11-1. Those wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 3.8 runs on average over those games. As for Danville, they have traveled a rocky road recently, having lost six of their last seven games. That's put a noticeable dent in their 19-20 record this season.

Danville has already played their next contest, a 9-8 victory against West Morgan on the 26th. Hopefully Good Hope paid attention to the Hawks' match: the next time they hit the field, they'll take on the Hawks on Monday.
