East Wake Academy extended their winning streak to six on Tuesday, bumping their season record up to 15-3 in the process. They blew past the Falls Lake Firebirds 13-3. The result was nothing new for the Eagles, who have now won 13 matches by ten runs or more so far this season.

East Wake Academy got a great performance from Mason Brantley as he struck out seven batters over five innings while giving up three earned runs off three hits (and only one walk).

At the plate, Dexter Benton was incredible, going a perfect 2-for-2 with three stolen bases, four RBI, and two runs. He has been hot recently, having posted three or more RBI the last three times he's played. Another player making a difference was Jordan Fuentes, who went a perfect 1-for-1 with four RBI and one run.

East Wake Academy always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .562. That was just more of the same: they've now posted an OBP of .500 or higher in six consecutive contests.

As for Falls Lake, they now have a losing record of 9-10. They haven't had much luck with East Wake Academy recently, as the team has come up short the last four times they've met.

On Falls Lake's side, Boston Moyers made the most of his time at bat despite the final result and went 1-for-2 with one home run and two RBI. That home run marked the first that Moyers has launched this season. Kameron Hill was another key player, going a perfect 1-for-1 with one run and one RBI.

Falls Lake didn't take long to hit the field again: they've already played their next game, a 15-1 victory against NCSSM: Durham on the 30th. Hopefully East Wake Academy paid attention to the Firebirds' matchup: the next time they hit the field, they'll take on the Firebirds at 4:00 p.m. on Friday.
