There's no place like home for Sullivan, who bounced back after a loss on the road on Saturday. Everything went their way against the South Putnam Eagles on Tuesday as they made off with an 8-1 victory. Considering the Golden Arrows have won seven games by more than six runs this season, Tuesday's blowout was nothing new.

Ty Hamilton made a splash while hitting and pitching. He struck out ten batters over six innings while giving up just one earned run off two hits (and only one walk). He has been nothing but reliable on the mound: he hasn't given up more than one earned run in three consecutive appearances. He was also solid in the batter's box, going 2-for-4 with two stolen bases and one RBI.

In other batting news, Sullivan let Paul Ridgeway and Hunter Mason run wild. Ridgeway got on base in all three of his plate appearances with three stolen bases and two runs, while Mason went 2-for-3 with two runs and two RBI. Those three stolen bases gave Ridgeway a new career-high. AdAm Mckinley was another key player, going 1-for-2 with three RBI and one double.

Sullivan hit smart and finished the game with only one strikeout. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as South Putnam struck out 11 times.

Sullivan pushed their record up to 9-2 with the win, which was their sixth straight at home dating back to last season. Those home victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.0 run on average over those games. As for South Putnam, they have traveled a rocky road recently, having lost four of their last five matchups. That's put a noticeable dent in their 3-5 record this season.

We've got plenty of inter-conference action coming up soon. Sullivan will take on rival Brown County at 6:00 p.m. on Wednesday. Meanwhile, South Putnam is set to challenge their familiar foe Edgewood at 5:30 p.m. on Wednesday.
