Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Fairview). They blew past the Skyline Falcons 16-4 on Wednesday. Perhaps unsurprisingly given the team's high-flying offense, the game also marked the team's biggest win of the season.

Cooper Neumann was a major factor while hitting and pitching. He tossed two innings while giving up no earned runs off one hit. The dominant performance also gave him a new career-high in strikeouts (four). He was also stellar in the batter's box, going 1-for-3 with three runs, one stolen base, and two RBI. He is becoming a predictor of Fairview's success: when he posts at least two runs the team is undefeated (and 5-8 when he doesn't).

In other batting news, Fairview got a massive performance out of Jack Espiritu-Niswonger, who got on base in four of his five plate appearances with four runs, one triple, and one RBI. Those four runs gave Espiritu-Niswonger a new career-high. The team also got some help courtesy of Jackson Wier, who went 2-for-3 with one home run, two runs, and two RBI.

Fairview was getting hits left and right and finished the game having posted a batting average of .464. They are a perfect 5-0 when they post a batting average of .375 or better.
