Osbourn Park had to skate by with only a two-run margin when they last took the field, which might have inspired the ten-run drubbing they dealt Potomac Falls on Monday. The Yellowjackets were the clear victors by a 13-3 margin over the Panthers. The result was nothing new for the Yellowjackets, who have now won four matchups by ten runs or more so far this season.

Bobby Shearin made a splash no matter where he played. He struck out six batters over five innings while giving up three earned runs off eight hits (and only one walk). Shearin was also big at the plate, getting on base in two of his three plate appearances with two RBI.

In other batting news, Evan Charest and Lucas Duncan did most of the damage at the plate: Charest got on base in all three of his plate appearances with two stolen bases, two runs, and one triple, while Duncan scored three runs while getting on base in all four of his plate appearances. That's the most stolen bases Charest has posted since back in March of 2024. Another player making a difference was Cam Kim, who scored a run while getting on base in three of his four plate appearances.

Osbourn Park was getting hits left and right and finished the game having posted a batting average of .412. That was just more of the same: they've now posted a batting average of .300 or higher in four consecutive games.

Osbourn Park's victory was their fourth straight at home, which pushed their record up to 6-3. Those home wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.3 runs on average over those games. As for Potomac Falls, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 4-4.

Coming up, Osbourn Park will take on Riverside at 11:00 a.m. on Tuesday. As for Potomac Falls, they will square off against Yorktown at 2:00 p.m. on Monday. The Patriots' pitching crew has only allowed 3.7 runs per game this season, so the Panthers' hitters will have their work cut out for them.
