GlenOak had to skate by with only a two-run margin when they last took the field, which might have inspired the ten-run drubbing they dealt Austintown-Fitch on Friday. The Golden Eagles' pitcher stepped up to hand the Falcons a 10-0 shutout. The Golden Eagles might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won eight matches by six runs or more this season.

The result came thanks to Mason Olbon's shutout, as he gave up just two hits. He has been consistent: he hasn't given up more than one earned run in eight consecutive appearances.

At the plate, Quincy Mazeke and Connor Zets did most of the damage at the plate: Mazeke went 2-for-3 with two runs, one double, and one RBI, while Zets went 1-for-2 with two stolen bases, two RBI, and one run. Those two stolen bases gave Zets a new career-high. The team also got some help courtesy of Will Douglas, who got on base in all three of his plate appearances with two runs and one RBI.

GlenOak has been performing incredibly well recently as they've won 15 of their last 16 games. That's provided a nice bump to their 21-4 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 6.9 runs over those games. As for Austintown-Fitch, they have been struggling recently as they've lost four of their last five contests. That's put a noticeable dent in their 9-15 record this season.

Both teams will have to hit the road in their upcoming games. GlenOak will take on Washington at 5:00 p.m. on Wednesday. The two teams have allowed few runs on average (the Golden Eagles 2.8, the Tigers 3.8) so any runs scored will be well earned. As for Austintown-Fitch, they will square off against Girard at 5:00 p.m. on Monday. The Indians' pitching crew has only allowed 3.8 runs per game this season, so the Falcons' hitters will have their work cut out for them.
