While Montgomery put up plenty of runs on Monday, the same can't be said for Milton. The Red Raiders didn't even let the Black Panthers on the board, marking the Red Raiders' second-straight 13-0 shutout. The Red Raiders might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won five games by seven runs or more this season.

Parker Bennett made a splash while hitting and pitching. On the mound, he didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only two hits while striking out 11 over five innings pitched. He has been nothing but reliable: he hasn't tossed less than five strikeouts in three consecutive appearances. He was also stellar in the batter's box, scoring three runs and stealing a base while going 1-for-3. He also put up a home run, which was his first of the season.

In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Parker Persing, who scored three runs and stole three bases while getting on base in two of his four plate appearances. Ethan Hugar was another key player, scoring a run and stealing a base while going 1-for-2.

The win made it two in a row for Montgomery and bumps their season record up to 6-1. Those victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 13.0 runs over those games. As for Milton, they are on a four-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 2-4.

Both teams are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. Montgomery will take on Sullivan County at 4:30 p.m. on Wednesday. As for Milton, they will be playing at home against Danville at 4:30 p.m. on Wednesday. The Ironmen's pitching crew has only allowed 3.5 runs per game this season, so the Black Panthers' hitters will have their work cut out for them.
