Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Waverly). They blew past the Eastern Quakers 18-2 on Saturday. The Warriors have beaten the Quakers the last five times they've met, but they better watch out: this was the closest the Quakers has come to flipping the script.

Tre Combs made a big impact no matter where he played. He struck out six batters over 2.2 innings while giving up just one earned (and one unearned) run off two hits (and not a single walk). Combs was also big at the plate, going 3-for-4 with three RBI, two runs, and one stolen base.

In other batting news, Waverly got a massive performance out of Jackson Gomez, who went a perfect 3-for-3 with two stolen bases, three runs, and three RBI. Another player making a difference was Iggy Arroyo, who went a perfect 2-for-2 with two runs, one stolen base, and two RBI.

Waverly always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .632. That's the best OBP they've posted all season.

Waverly's victory was their fifth straight on the road, which pushed their record up to 7-1. The road wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.2 runs on average over those games. As for Eastern, they are on an eight-game losing streak (dating back to last season) that has dropped them down to 0-6.

Looking ahead, Waverly will welcome Grand Ledge at 4:00 p.m. on Monday. As for Eastern, they will take on Williamston at 4:15 p.m. on Tuesday.
