Mifflin won the last time they faced South and things went their way on Wednesday too. The Punchers put the hurt on the Bulldogs with a sharp 17-6 win. Considering the Punchers have won seven games by more than five runs this season, Wednesday's blowout was nothing new.

The team relied heavily on Godwin Frimpong, who got on base in three of his five plate appearances with one home run, three stolen bases, and four runs. Those four runs gave him a new career-high. Adrian Hernandez also deserves some recognition as he launched his first home run of the season.

Mifflin always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .610. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as South only posted an OBP of .407.

Mifflin has been performing well recently as they've won three of their last four matches. That's provided a nice bump to their 8-4 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 12.5 runs over those games. As for South, they are on a four-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 2-6.

Coming up, Mifflin will venture away from home to take on Independence at 5:30 p.m. on Friday. As for South, they will host Cristo Rey at 12:00 p.m. on Friday.
