Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Holly Springs). Everything went their way against the Panther Creek Catamounts on Tuesday as they made off with a 21-2 victory. Perhaps unsurprisingly given the team's high-flying offense, the game also marked the team's biggest win of the season.

Jake Cackovic looked comfortable as he didn't allow a single hit and allowed only one earned run over four innings pitched. He also allowed no hits, which is notable because Holly Springs is 4-1 when he allows at most three hits, but 6-7 otherwise.

On the hitting side, Holly Springs let Mason Hamrick and Noah Rhoades run wild. Hamrick scored four runs and stole a base while going 3-for-3, while Rhoades went 2-for-4 with one home run, four RBI, and one double. Those four RBI gave Rhoades a new career-high. Noah Kindelberger also deserves some recognition as he brought in his first RBI of the season.

Holly Springs always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .574. That's the best OBP they've posted all season.

Holly Springs pushed their record up to 10-8 with the victory, which was their fourth straight on the road. Those road wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 0.5 runs on average over those games.
