Watervliet put another one in the bag on Thursday to keep their perfect season alive. They blew past the Allegan Tigers 13-2. The Panthers have seen this before: they got the W the last time they saw the Tigers, too.

Caleb Jewell made a big impact no matter where he played. He struck out 14 batters over six innings while giving up just two earned runs off two hits. He has been nothing but reliable on the mound: he hasn't given up more than two hits in three consecutive appearances. He was also big at the plate, going 3-for-5 with three runs, one stolen base, and one double.

In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Owen Epple, who went 1-for-4 with one stolen base, two RBI, and one run. Epple is crushing it when it comes to stolen bases: he's snagged at least one every time he's taken the field this season. Ashton Coleman also deserves some recognition as he scored his first run of the season.

Watervliet pushed their record up to 6-0 with the win, which was their seventh straight on the road dating back to last season. The road victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 11.4 runs over those games. As for Allegan, they are on a seven-game losing streak (dating back to last season) that has dropped them down to 0-5.

The teams didn't have to wait long for a rematch: Watervliet beat the Tigers by a score of 10-0 later that day.
