Ellington waltzed into their matchup on Friday with three straight wins... but they left with four. They blew past the Stafford Bulldogs 7-1. The Knights might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won nine contests by six runs or more this season.

Tyler Dumond was a major factor while hitting and pitching. On the mound, he struck out seven batters over three innings while giving up no earned runs off two hits (and not a single walk). He has been consistent recently: he hasn't given up more than two hits in four consecutive appearances. He was also big at the plate, earning two RBI and two runs. That's the most runs he has posted since back in April.

In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Chase Thomas, who went 1-for-4 with two RBI, one run, and one double.

Ellington hit smart and finished the game with only two strikeouts. The team has now struck out at least two batters in three consecutive games.

Ellington's win was their fifth straight at home, which pushed their record up to 13-4. The home victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.0 run on average over those games. As for Stafford, they are on a four-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 6-9.

Coincidentally, Ellington and Stafford will both be playing Coventry the next time they take the field. The Bulldogs will head out to face the Patriots at 10:00 a.m. on Saturday, while the Knights will host them at 3:45 p.m. on Tuesday.
