South Walton barely beat Bozeman the last time the pair played, but that sure wasn't the case this time around. The Seahawks never let the Bucks get on the board and left with a 9-0 victory on Friday. Considering the Seahawks have won eight games by more than five runs this season, Friday's blowout was nothing new.

Denton Lord tossed a big game, not allowing a single earned run and allowing only two hits while striking out nine over five innings pitched. He has been consistent: he hasn't given up more than one earned run in eight consecutive appearances.

At the plate, the team relied heavily on Coleman Borthwick, who went 2-for-4 with three RBI, two runs, and one triple. That's the most runs he has posted since back in February. The team also got some help courtesy of Vaughn Howard, who went 3-for-4 with four RBI and one double.

South Walton always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .528. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Bozeman only posted an OBP of .250.

The win made it two in a row for South Walton and bumps their season record up to 18-4. Those victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered a grand total of 0 runs in those games. As for Bozeman, they moved to 17-5 with that defeat, which also ended their four-game winning streak.

Looking ahead, South Walton will face off against Maclay at 12:00 p.m. on Saturday. The two teams have allowed few runs on average (the Seahawks 1.7, the Marauders 3.3) so any runs scored will be well earned. As for Bozeman, they will square off against Mosley at 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday. The two teams have allowed few runs on average (the Bucks 3.5, the Dolphins 3.2) so any runs scored will be well earned.
