Meanwhile, Fort Myers got themselves on the board against Southwest Florida Christian on Thursday, but Southwest Florida Christian never followed suit. They were the clear victors by an 8-0 margin over the King's. Considering the Green Wave have won seven games by more than five runs this season, Thursday's blowout was nothing new.

Alexander Mankin tossed a big game, not allowing a single earned run over five innings pitched.

At the plate, Fort Myers let Michael Magas and William Davey run wild. Magas scored two runs while going 1-for-4, while Davey scored two runs while going 3-for-3. Luke Fleming was another key player, scoring a run while going 2-for-3.

Fort Myers is on a roll lately: they've won 12 of their last 16 contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 15-8 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 8.0 runs over those games. As for Mariner, their record is now 17-9.

Mariner beat Fort Myers 7-3 in their previous meeting back in March. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Tritons since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
