Mercyhurst Prep won against Villa Angela-St. Joseph on Monday with five runs and they decided to stick to that run total again on Tuesday. The Lakers' pitchers stepped up to hand the Greenfield Knights a 5-0 shutout. The Lakers' victory was nothing new given the team hasn't lost yet this season.

Hunter Krahe was a major factor no matter where he played. He didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only two hits while striking out ten over 6.1 innings pitched. He has been nothing but reliable on the mound: he hasn't given up more than one earned run in five consecutive appearances. He was also big at the plate, going 2-for-3 with one triple, one stolen base, and one run. That stolen base was his first of the season.

In other batting news, Tanner Ashton was excellent, going 1-for-2 with one triple, one run, and one RBI. Another player making a difference was Brady Coleman, who went 2-for-3 with one stolen base and one run.

Mercyhurst Prep's win bumped their record up to 10-0. As for Greenfield, they have been struggling recently as they've lost three of their last four contests. That's put a noticeable dent in their 14-5 record this season.

Mercyhurst Prep will face off against Middle Township at 4:00 p.m. on Wednesday. The Panthers have struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed 6.55 runs per game on average), something the Lakers will no doubt try to take advantage of. As for Greenfield, they will take on Highland Regional at 1:30 p.m. on Wednesday. The two teams have allowed few runs on average (the Knights 3.8, the Tartans 2.6) so any runs scored will be well earned.
