There's no place like home for Norview, who bounced back after a loss on the road on Thursday. They came out on top against the Manor Mustangs on Friday by a score of 10-0 (the very same score they lost by in their prior game). Considering the Pilots have won seven contests by more than six runs this season, Friday's blowout was nothing new.

Jamil Moreta and Andrew Ludwig were major factors no matter where they played. On the mound, Moreta struck out six batters over two innings while giving up no earned runs or hits (and not a single walk). Meanwhile, Ludwig pitched three innings while giving up no earned runs or hits. What's more, he posted five strikeouts, the most he's had since back in April. At the plate, Moreta went 1-for-3 with one triple, two RBI, and one run, while Ludwig earned two runs and one stolen base. Norview is 3-1 when Ludwig posts two or more runs, but 7-10 otherwise.

In other batting news, Landon Otero was excellent, going 2-for-3 with two runs and one RBI. He is becoming a predictor of Norview's success: when he posts at least two runs the team is undefeated (and 7-11 when he doesn't). The team also got some help courtesy of Carter Lawrence, who went 1-for-3 with one triple and one RBI.

The win snapped Norview's losing streak at five games and leaves them with a 10-11 record. As for Manor, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 8-13.

As of now, neither Norview nor the Mustangs have any future games scheduled.
