Ware Shoals pushed their record up to 22-9 with the victory, which was their third straight on the road. Those road wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 3.7 runs on average over those games. As for McBee, their defeat ended a 12-game streak of wins at home and dropped them to 25-5.

McBee has already played their next game, a 5-3 victory against Abbeville on the 19th. Hopefully Ware Shoals paid attention to the Panthers' matchup: the next time they hit the field, they'll take on the Panthers at 5:00 p.m. on Wednesday.
