Newberg won against Glencoe on Wednesday with 13 runs and they decided to stick to that run total again on Friday. The Tigers never let the Crimson Tide get on the board and left with a 13-0 win. Considering the Tigers have won six matches by more than five runs this season, Friday's blowout was nothing new.

Cole Thomas made a splash no matter where he played. He didn't allow a single earned run while striking out six over five innings pitched. He has been nothing but reliable on the mound: he hasn't tossed less than five strikeouts in three consecutive appearances. He was also solid in the batter's box, going 1-for-3 with two runs, one stolen base, and one RBI.

In other batting news, Zadek Bowlby and Lucas Vaughn did most of the damage at the plate: Bowlby got on base in all three of his plate appearances with two runs, one triple, and one RBI, while Vaughn went 1-for-3 with two runs, one triple, and two RBI. That triple marked the first that Bowlby has hit this season. Parker Sellner was another key player, going 2-for-3 with two RBI, one run, and one double.

Newberg kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 11 hits. That's a new trend for them: they were averaging 5.6 hits per game earlier this season, but in their last 15 contests they've averaged 9.4.

The victory was the third in a row for Newberg, bringing their record up to 10-5. Those wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 12.0 runs over those games. As for Glencoe, they are on a five-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 7-9.

Looking ahead, Newberg will head out to take on Sherwood at 5:00 p.m. on Monday. The two teams have allowed few runs on average (the Tigers 3.7, the Bowmen 3.3) so any runs scored will be well earned. As for Glencoe, they will welcome South Salem at 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday. The Saxons will roll in looking for their 17th straight victory, something the Crimson Tide surely won't give up without a fight.
