Wittenberg-Birnamwood put their dominant pitchers on display in the team's third consecutive shutout on Friday. They didn't even let the Menominee Indian Eagles on the board, marking the Chargers' second-straight 10-0 shutout. Considering the Chargers have won five matches by more than nine runs this season, Friday's blowout was nothing new.

Chris Sippl looked comfortable as he pitched three innings while giving up no earned runs or hits. He has been nothing but reliable on the mound: he hasn't given up more than two walks in five consecutive appearances.

At the plate, the team relied heavily on Owen Dickman, who went 2-for-3 with one home run, three runs, and one stolen base. The team also got some help courtesy of Eddie Nowinsky, who earned two runs and one stolen base.

Wittenberg-Birnamwood is on a roll lately: they've won eight of their last nine contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 10-2 record this season. Those wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.7 runs on average over those games. As for Menominee Indian, they dropped their record down to 2-6 with the loss, which was their 14th straight on the road dating back to last season.

Wittenberg-Birnamwood will have a chance to go back-to-back against the Eagles: the pair's next game is a rematch scheduled at 4:30 p.m. on Monday.
