Wayland-Cohocton had already won six in a row (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 5.7 runs) and they went ahead and made it seven on Thursday. They walked away with a 6-1 win over the Perry Yellowjackets. The Eagles have seen this before: they got the W the last time they saw the Yellowjackets, too.

Hayden Wolfanger was a major factor while hitting and pitching. He looked comfortable on the mound, striking out six batters over seven innings while giving up just one earned run off one hit (and only one walk). He has been nothing but reliable: he hasn't given up more than one walk in four consecutive appearances. He was also big at the plate, getting on base in all three of his plate appearances with three stolen bases. Those three stolen bases gave him a new career-high.

In other batting news, Owen Wolfanger was incredible, going 3-for-4 with four stolen bases, two RBI, and one run. Those three hits gave him a new career-high. Another player making a difference was Orion Walker, who got on base in three of his four plate appearances with two stolen bases.

Wayland-Cohocton's victory was their third straight on the road, which pushed their record up to 9-3. Those road wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 0.3 runs on average over those games. As for Perry, they now have a losing record of 5-6.

Coming up, Wayland-Cohocton will head out to square off against Livonia at 5:00 p.m. on Friday. The Eagles' pitchers better be ready for this one: the Bulldogs have averaged an impressive 6.2 runs per game this season. As for Perry, they will look to defend their home field on Friday against Caledonia-Mumford at 4:30 p.m. The Raiders have struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed 10.22 runs per game on average), something the Yellowjackets will no doubt try to take advantage of.
