Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Yorktown). They were the clear victors by a 12-1 margin over Muncie Central on Monday.

Yorktown's victory was their third straight at home, which pushed their record up to 5-3. Those home wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.0 runs on average over those games. As for Greenfield-Central, they now have a losing record of 4-5.
