Clay had to skate by with only a two-run margin when they last took the field, which might have inspired the eight-run drubbing they dealt Napoleon on Monday. The Eagles put the hurt on the Wildcats with a sharp 11-3 win. Winning may never get old, but the Eagles sure are getting used to it with their fifth in a row.

Ian DeWitt and Brannan Vargas did most of the damage at the plate: DeWitt went a perfect 3-for-3 with four runs and two RBI, while Vargas went 2-for-3 with five RBI, one run, and one double. Those four runs gave DeWitt a new career-high. Bryce Besgrove was another key player, getting on base in three of his four plate appearances with three runs.

Clay's victory was their fourth straight on the road, which pushed their record up to 9-4. The road wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 6.5 runs over those games. As for Napoleon, with the defeat, they broke their four-game winning streak and moved their record to 9-3-1.

Clay will have a chance to go back-to-back against the Wildcats: the pair's next game is a rematch scheduled at 5:00 p.m. on Tuesday.
