Columbia Academy put their dominant pitcher on display in the team's third consecutive shutout on Friday. They never let the Bowling Green Buccaneers get on the board and left with a 10-0 win. Considering the Cougars have won seven matchups by more than five runs this season, Friday's blowout was nothing new.

The result came thanks to Reed Duncan's shutout, as he gave up just a hit and racked up 14 Ks. That's the fewest hits he has allowed since March 6th.

At the plate, Carson Stuart was incredible, scoring a run while getting on base in all five of his plate appearances. Corban Lawrence was another key player, going 3-for-5 with four RBI and one double.

Columbia Academy always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .571. That was just more of the same: they've now posted an OBP of .571 or higher in three consecutive games.

Columbia Academy pushed their record up to 15-6 with the victory, which was their seventh straight on the road. Those wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 3.4 runs on average over those games. As for Bowling Green, they have been struggling recently as they've lost nine of their last ten contests. That's put a noticeable dent in their 5-10 record this season.

A feisty cat fight will be fought as Columbia Academy Cougars take on Silliman Institute Wildcats at 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday. Silliman Institute's pitching crew has only allowed 3.8 runs per game this season, so Columbia Academy's hitters will have their work cut out for them. As for Bowling Green, they will venture away from home to challenge Parklane Academy at 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday. Bowling Green is facing Parklane Academy at the right time seeing as Parklane Academy is stuck on a three-game losing streak.
