Winters had already won ten in a row (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 6.6 runs) and they went ahead and made it 11 on Friday. They came out on top against the Live Oak Lions by a score of 6-1. The Warriors have seen this before: they got the W the last time they saw the Lions, too.

Boston Jones spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered a run (which was unearned) on five hits and racked up nine Ks. He also tossed no earned runs, which is notable because Winters is 5-1 when he allows at most two earned runs, but 7-8 otherwise.

On the hitting side, Winters saw five different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Jake Woods, who went 2-for-3 with two runs. That's the most runs Woods has posted since back in April of 2024. Lane Brown was another, getting on base in all four of his plate appearances with two stolen bases and two runs.

Winters pushed their record up to 12-9 with the victory, which was their sixth straight at home. Those home wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.5 runs on average over those games. As for Live Oak, they have traveled a rocky road recently, having lost eight of their last ten games. That's put a noticeable dent in their 9-10 record this season.
