East Mountain had to skate by with only a one-run margin when they last took the field, which might have inspired the 12-run drubbing they dealt McCurdy on Tuesday. The Timberwolves put the hurt on the Bobcats with a sharp 14-2 victory. The Timberwolves might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won six matchups by six runs or more this season.

Christopher Moya made a big impact no matter where he played. He struck out six batters over three innings while giving up just two earned runs off three hits. Those six strikeouts gave him a new career-high. He was also solid in the batter's box, going 1-for-3 with one triple, one run, and one RBI.

In other batting news, East Mountain got a massive performance out of Aidan Madrid, who scored three runs and stole a base while getting on base in all four of his plate appearances. That's the most runs Madrid has posted since back in May of 2024. Luke Stoerner was another key player, going 3-for-4 with four RBI, two runs, and one double.

East Mountain was getting hits left and right and finished the game having posted a batting average of .444. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as McCurdy only posted a batting average of .263.

East Mountain is on a roll lately: they've won eight of their last nine games. That's provided a nice bump to their 9-5 record this season. Those wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 3.8 runs on average over those games. As for McCurdy, their loss was their third straight at home, which dropped their record down to 2-3.

Looking ahead, East Mountain will head out to square off against Ruidoso at 2:00 p.m. on Thursday. The Timberwolves' pitchers better be ready for this one: the Warriors have averaged an impressive 7.6 runs per game this season. As for McCurdy, they will be taking part in a tournament against Gateway Christian at 12:30 p.m. on Thursday.
