New Bern had to skate by with only a one-run margin when they last took the field, which might have inspired the ten-run drubbing they dealt West Craven on Tuesday. New Bern blew past West Craven 10-0. The result was nothing new for the Bears, who have now won six games by seven runs or more so far this season.

New Bern is on a roll lately: they've won five of their last six contests. That's provided a massive bump to their 7-5 record this season. Those wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.3 runs on average over those games. West Craven is on a nine-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 1-9.
