Cumberland waltzed into their contest on Friday with six straight wins... but they left with seven. They were the clear victors by a 9-3 margin over the Lincoln Lions. That's more bragging rights for the Clippers, who also won the pair's last head-to-head.

Ben Jahnz spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered just two earned (and one unearned) runs on six hits and racked up seven Ks. He has been nothing but reliable: he hasn't given up more than two walks in eight consecutive appearances.

At the plate, the team relied heavily on Brody Enos, who went a perfect 3-for-3 with four RBI. That's the most hits he has posted since back in April. The team also got some help courtesy of Andrew Nocera, who went 2-for-4 with two runs and one RBI.

Cumberland was getting hits left and right and finished the game having posted a batting average of .379. That was just more of the same: they've now posted a batting average of .300 or higher in seven consecutive games.

Cumberland's victory was their fourth straight at home, which pushed their record up to 14-4. As for Lincoln, they are on a three-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 3-13.

We've got plenty of inter-league action coming up soon. Cumberland is set to challenge their familiar foe Bishop Hendricken at 2:00 p.m. on Saturday. The two teams have allowed few runs on average (the Clippers 3.1, the Hawks 2.7) so any runs scored will be well earned. Meanwhile, Lincoln will face off against rival Barrington at 5:00 p.m. on Monday.
