Falkner's game last Tuesday was a loss, but they didn't let that memory haunt them on Tuesday. They blew past the Jumpertown Cardinals 11-1. Considering the Eagles have won eight matches by more than five runs this season, Tuesday's blowout was nothing new.

Jackson Jordan was a major factor while hitting and pitching. He struck out ten batters over five innings while giving up just one earned run off two hits (and not a single walk). The dominant performance also gave him a new career-low in walks (zero). He was also solid in the batter's box, scoring a run while getting on base in three of his four plate appearances.

In other batting news, Erick Lumpkin and John Lumpkin did most of the damage at the plate: Erick scored two runs and stole a base while going 2-for-3, while John scored a run and stole Four bases. while getting on base in all three of his plate appearances. The dominant performance also gave Erick a new career-high in RBI (three). Another player making a difference was Chris Nunley, who got on base in all three of his plate appearances with three stolen bases.

Falkner always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .633. That was just more of the same: they've now posted an OBP of .500 or higher in four consecutive games.

Falkner has been performing incredibly well recently as they've won seven of their last eight contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 11-4 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 12.0 runs over those games. Jumpertown's loss was their 11th straight on the road dating back to last season, which dropped their record down to 1-8.

Falkner will have a chance to go back-to-back against Jumpertown: the pair's next game is a rematch scheduled at 6:30 p.m. on Friday.
