Maynard strolled into their game on Friday with a perfect record and they left with the same. They put the hurt on the Gardner Wildcats with a sharp 13-2 win. Considering the Tigers have won three matchups by more than eight runs this season, Friday's blowout was nothing new.

Max Mandler was a major factor no matter where he played. He didn't allow a single earned run while striking out eight over five innings pitched. Mandler was also solid in the batter's box, going 1-for-3 with one run and one double. That double was his first of the season.

In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Max Cedeno, who went a perfect 3-for-3 with one home run, two stolen bases, and five RBI. That home run marked the first that he has launched this season. Will Molloy was another key player, going a perfect 3-for-3 with two stolen bases, two runs, and two RBI.

Maynard kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 12 hits. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now got at least eight hits every time they've taken the field this season.

Maynard's victory was their third straight on the road, which pushed their record up to 6-0. As for Gardner, they have been struggling recently as they've lost three of their last four contests. That's put a noticeable dent in their 3-3 record this season.

Both squads are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. Maynard will host Narragansett Regional at 3:45 p.m. on Tuesday. The Warriors have struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed 7.2 runs per game on average), something the Tigers will no doubt try to take advantage of. As for Gardner, they will look to defend their home field on Monday against Ayer Shirley at 4:00 p.m.
