Shenango barely beat New Castle the last time the pair played, but that sure wasn't the case this time around. The Wildcats' pitchers stepped up to hand the Hurricanes a 13-0 shutout on Thursday. The result was nothing new for the Wildcats, who have now won eight matches by seven runs or more so far this season.

Jonathan Santangelo looked comfortable as he didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only two hits over four innings pitched.

At the plate, Joey Campoli was a standout: he went 2-for-3 with four RBI, two runs, and two doubles. That's the most doubles he has posted since back in April. The team also got some help courtesy of Matt Fry, who went 2-for-4 with two stolen bases, two runs, and two RBI.

Shenango is on a roll lately: they've won six of their last eight contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 14-5 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 3.5 runs on average over those games. As for New Castle, they are on a seven-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 4-16.

Looking ahead, Shenango will face off against Poland Seminary at 12:00 p.m. on Saturday. New Castle does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
