Center had already won three in a row (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 9 runs) and they went ahead and made it four on Friday. They never let the Southeast Knights get on the board and left with a 16-0 win. The Yellowjackets might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won seven matches by 11 runs or more this season.

Luke Leslie was a major factor while hitting and pitching. He struck out six batters over two innings while giving up no earned runs off one hit (and not a single walk). He also tossed no earned runs, which is notable because Center is 6-3 when he allows at most one earned run, but 3-7 otherwise. Leslie was also stellar in the batter's box, going 2-for-3 with two triples, three runs, and one stolen base. Those two triples gave him a new career-high.

In other batting news, Lucas Westring was incredible, going 2-for-3 with four stolen bases, three RBI, and two runs. Those four stolen bases gave him a new career-high. Another player making a difference was Brennan Eubanks, who went 2-for-3 with one home run and two runs.

Center was getting hits left and right and finished the game having posted a batting average of .467. They are a perfect 5-0 when they post a batting average of .375 or better.

Center's victory bumped their record up to 9-10. As for Southeast, they are on a 22-game losing streak (dating back to last season) that has dropped them down to 0-15.

As of now, neither Center nor the Knights have any future games scheduled.
