Shenandoah had to skate by with only a one-run margin when they last took the field, which might have inspired the seven-run drubbing they dealt Madison-Grant on Friday. The Raiders never let the Argylls get on the board and left with a 7-0 win. The result was nothing new for the Raiders, who have now won nine contests by six runs or more so far this season.

Collin Osenbaugh was a major factor no matter where he played. He looked comfortable on the mound, not allowing a single earned run while striking out 12 over seven innings pitched. He has been nothing but reliable: he hasn't given up more than one earned run in five consecutive appearances. He was also big at the plate, getting on base in all four of his plate appearances with one home run, two RBI, and one double.

In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Aiden Coffey, who got on base in all four of his plate appearances with two runs. That's the most runs he has posted since back in April.

Shenandoah hit smart and finished the game with only two strikeouts. The team has now struck out at least three batters in five consecutive games.

Shenandoah's victory was their tenth straight at home dating back to last season, which pushed their record up to 12-3. The home wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 3.1 runs on average over those games. As for Madison-Grant, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 12-8.

Shenandoah didn't take long to hit the field again: they've already played their next match, a 6-4 victory against Yorktown on the 10th. As for Madison-Grant, they will challenge Frankton at 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday. The Argylls' pitchers better be ready for this one: the Eagles have averaged an impressive 7.6 runs per game this season.
