Meanwhile, Barnwell entered their tilt with Woodland on Thursday with seven consecutive wins, and they'll enter their next game with eight. They put the hurt on the Wolverines with a sharp 13-3 win. The Warhorses might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won six matchups by ten runs or more this season.
