Appomattox County entered their tilt with Chatham on Tuesday with two consecutive wins, and they'll enter their next game with three. They put the hurt on the Cavaliers with a sharp 12-1 victory. Considering the Raiders have won six games by more than six runs this season, Tuesday's blowout was nothing new.

Jack Wilkerson made a splash while hitting and pitching. He struck out six batters over four innings while giving up just one earned run off three hits (and not a single walk). He has been consistent: he hasn't given up a single walk in seven consecutive appearances. He was also solid in the batter's box, going 2-for-3 with one triple and one RBI.

In other batting news, Evan Carwile and Micah Wilson did most of the damage at the plate: Carwile went 1-for-2 with three runs and one triple, while Wilson went 3-for-4 with three RBI and one double. Those three runs gave Carwile a new career-high. Another player making a difference was R J Martin, who went 1-for-2 with two runs, one double, and one RBI.

Appomattox County hit smart and finished the game with only one strikeout. The team has now struck out at least five batters in three consecutive matchups.

Appomattox County pushed their record up to 13-6 with the win, which was their fifth straight at home. The home victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 7.8 runs over those games. As for Chatham, they are on a 12-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 1-16.

Appomattox County will have a chance to go back-to-back against the Cavaliers: the pair will be back at it again later today.
