Madison extended their winning streak to six on Tuesday, bumping their season record up to 6-2 in the process. They were the clear victors by a 17-2 margin over the Lincoln Abes. Considering the Eagles have won six contests by more than 11 runs this season, Tuesday's blowout was nothing new.

Shawn Dennis was a major factor no matter where he played. He looked comfortable on the mound, striking out 11 batters over 3.2 innings while giving up just one earned (and one unearned) run off three hits (and only one walk). He has been nothing but reliable: he hasn't tossed less than five strikeouts in four consecutive appearances. He was also stellar in the batter's box, going 3-for-4 with one home run, three runs, and four RBI. He also put up a double, which was his first of the season.

In other batting news, Landon Wargo and Bradyn Hartman did most of the damage at the plate: Wargo went a perfect 2-for-2 with four stolen bases, two runs, and one RBI, while Hartman went 1-for-2 with five stolen bases and three runs. Hartman is becoming a predictor of Madison's success: when he posts at least two stolen bases the team is undefeated (and 1-2 when he doesn't). Another player making a difference was Malachi Allen, who got on base in two of his three plate appearances with two stolen bases and two runs.

Madison was getting hits left and right and finished the game having posted a batting average of .450. That was just more of the same: they've now posted a batting average of .316 or higher in five consecutive matchups.

As for Lincoln, they dropped their record down to 1-8 with the loss, which was their tenth straight on the road dating back to last season. Having soared to a lofty 23 runs in the game before, they couldn't push the score so high this time.

On Lincoln's side, Brandon Fredricks was cooking despite his team's loss, going a perfect 1-for-1 with two runs and one stolen base.

The teams didn't have to wait long for a rematch: Madison beat the Abes by a score of 9-1 later that day.
