Rock Port waltzed into their game on Thursday with nine straight wins... but they left with ten. They were the clear victors by a 12-3 margin over the Osborn Wildcats. The result was nothing new for the Blue Jays, who have now won six contests by nine runs or more so far this season.

Dylan Lair and Jadyn Geib were major factors no matter where they played. Throwing, Lair didn't allow a single hit and allowed only one earned run while striking out 12 over six innings pitched. Meanwhile, Geib pitched one inning while giving up no earned runs or hits. Those 12 strikeouts gave Lair a new career-high. At the plate, Lair got on base in three of his five plate appearances with two stolen bases and two runs, while Geib went 2-for-4 with two runs, one stolen base, and one double.

In other batting news, Corbyn Jakub was incredible, getting on base in four of his six plate appearances with three RBI, one stolen base, and one run. He has been hot recently, having posted at least one stolen base the last three times he's played. Another player making a difference was Tayden Cook, who went 2-for-5 with three stolen bases, one run, and one RBI.

Rock Port kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 13 hits. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now got at least eight hits in three consecutive matchups.

Rock Port pushed their record up to 13-2 with the victory, which was their fourth straight on the road. Those road wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.8 runs on average over those games. As for Osborn, they are on a five-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 2-6.

Both teams will have to hit the road in their upcoming games. Rock Port will head out to take on North Nodaway at 5:00 p.m. on Monday. The Mustangs have struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed 16 runs per game on average), something the Blue Jays will no doubt try to take advantage of. As for Osborn, they will head out on the road to challenge South Nodaway at 5:00 p.m. on Monday.
