Heritage entered their tilt with South Adams on Tuesday with five consecutive wins, and they'll enter their next game with six. They were the clear victors by a 10-0 margin over the Starfires. The result was nothing new for the Patriots, who have now won four matchups by ten runs or more so far this season.

Max Mirelez was a major factor no matter where he played. On the mound, he didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only one hit over five innings pitched. The dominant performance also gave him a new career-high in strikeouts (five). He was also solid in the batter's box, going a perfect 3-for-3 with two runs and one double.

That triple marked the first that Roe has hit this season. Another player making a difference was Mason Abbott, who went 2-for-3 with two RBI and one double.

Heritage was getting hits left and right and finished the game having posted a batting average of .435. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as South Adams only posted a batting average of .062.

Heritage pushed their record up to 7-1 with the win, which was their fifth straight at home dating back to last season. The home victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 0.4 runs on average over those games. As for South Adams, they are on a six-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 1-9.

Both teams are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. Heritage will host Fort Wayne Bishop Luers at 5:30 p.m. on Wednesday. The two teams have allowed few runs on average (the Patriots 1.9, the Knights 4) so any runs scored will be well earned. As for South Adams, they will welcome Peru at 5:30 p.m. on Friday.
