Charlestown put another one in the bag on Monday to keep their perfect season alive. Their pitcher stepped up to hand the Eastern Musketeers an 11-0 shutout. Considering the Pirates have won four games by more than six runs this season, Monday's blowout was nothing new.

Lex Rose was a major factor no matter where he played. On the mound, he didn't allow a single earned run while striking out six over five innings pitched. Rose was also solid in the batter's box, scoring a run while going 1-for-3.

In other batting news, Charlestown got a massive performance out of Aj Todd, who went 1-for-2 with one home run and three RBI. Those three RBI gave Todd a new career-high. Another player making a difference was Christian Grayson, who went 2-for-3 with one home run and two RBI.

Charlestown hit smart and finished the game with only two strikeouts. The team has now struck out at least five batters in four consecutive contests.

Charlestown pushed their record up to 6-0 with the victory, which was their third straight on the road. Those road wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.0 run on average over those games. As for Eastern, they are on a 21-game losing streak (dating back to last season) that has dropped them down to 0-4.

Both teams will have to hit the road in their upcoming games. Charlestown will face off against Jeffersonville at 6:00 p.m. on Tuesday. As for Eastern, they will take on South Central at 5:30 p.m. on Wednesday.
