While Horizon Honors put up some runs on Monday, the same can't be said for ALA - Anthem South. The Eagles blew past the Titans 10-0. The result was nothing new for the Eagles, who have now won seven games by six runs or more so far this season.

Aidan Andrews made a big impact no matter where he played. He looked comfortable on the mound, not allowing a single earned run and allowing only one hit over five innings pitched. He has been nothing but reliable: he hasn't given up more than two walks in four consecutive appearances. He was also stellar in the batter's box, scoring three runs and stealing three bases while getting on base in three of his four plate appearances. Those three stolen bases gave him a new career-high.

In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Lucas Holweger, who scored two runs and stole a base while getting on base in all four of his plate appearances. That stolen base was his first of the season. Another player making a difference was Chase Wilson, who scored two runs and stole a base while getting on base in two of his three plate appearances.

Horizon Honors lost a few balls and finished the game with two home runs. That's the most home runs they've managed all season.

Horizon Honors pushed their record up to 12-4-1 with the win, which was their fifth straight at home. The home victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 9.0 runs over those games. As for ALA - Anthem South, they are on an eight-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 1-10.

We've got plenty of inter-region action coming up soon. Horizon Honors is set to take on their familiar foe Heritage Academy at 3:00 p.m. on Wednesday. Meanwhile, ALA - Anthem South will challenge rival Santa Cruz Valley at 5:30 p.m. on Wednesday.
