Seneca waltzed into their contest on Monday with six straight wins... but they left with seven. They never let the Emerald Vikings get on the board and left with a 10-0 win. The Bobcats might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won ten matches by seven runs or more this season.

William Cutshall made a big impact while hitting and pitching. He struck out seven batters over three innings while giving up no earned runs off one hit (and only one walk). He has been nothing but reliable on the mound: he hasn't tossed less than five strikeouts in 11 consecutive appearances. He was also solid in the batter's box, going 2-for-3 with two runs, two RBI, and one double.

In other batting news, Seneca let Joey McGovern and Tyler Vassey run wild. McGovern went 1-for-2 with one home run, three RBI, and two runs, while Vassey went a perfect 1-for-1 with one home run, two stolen bases, and two RBI. That's the most stolen bases Vassey has posted since back in February. Another player making a difference was Kade Scruggs, who went 2-for-3 with three runs and two doubles.

Seneca was getting hits left and right and finished the game having posted a batting average of .429. That was just more of the same: they've now posted a batting average of .409 or higher in five consecutive games.

Seneca's victory was their fourth straight at home, which pushed their record up to 22-4. Those home wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.5 runs on average over those games. As for Emerald, they have traveled a rocky road recently, having lost five of their last six contests. That's put a noticeable dent in their 10-15 record this season.

Seneca does not have any more games scheduled as of now. As for Emerald, they will face off against Wren at 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday. The Hurricanes' pitching crew has only allowed 4.1 runs per game this season, so the Vikings' hitters will have their work cut out for them.
