They weren't the only ones working in the home run department: Lake Fenton lost a few balls and finished the game with two home runs. That's the most home runs they've posted since back in April.

Lake Fenton pushed their record up to 25-4 with the victory, which was their ninth straight on the road. Those road wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 9.6 runs over those games. As for Pinconning, they have traveled a rocky road recently, having lost ten of their last 13 games. That's put a noticeable dent in their 7-12 record this season.
