There's no place like home for Niceville, who bounced back after a loss on the road last Thursday. Everything went their way against the Crestview Bulldogs on Tuesday as Niceville made off with a 14-1 win. The result was nothing new for the Eagles, who have now won eight matchups by eight runs or more so far this season.

Jake Morvay spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered only one earned run on three hits. The dominant performance also gave him a new career-high in strikeouts (four).

At the plate, Niceville let Deacon Avery and CJ Bolden run wild. Avery went 2-for-3 with one home run, three RBI, and one double, while Bolden went 3-for-4 with four RBI, two runs, and one double. Those three hits gave Bolden a new career-high. Remington Crum was another key player, scoring three runs and stealing a base while going 1-for-2.

Niceville always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .594. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Crestview only posted an OBP of .238.

Niceville is on a roll lately: they've won 11 of their last 13 contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 15-3 record this season. Crestview has been struggling recently as they've lost eight of their last nine games. That's put a noticeable dent in their 3-12 record this season.

Both teams are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. Niceville will welcome Lincoln at 5:00 p.m. on Wednesday. The two teams have allowed few runs on average (Niceville 4.1, Lincoln 3.8) so any runs scored will be well earned. As for Crestview, they will host Pensacola Catholic at 6:30 p.m. on Thursday. Pensacola Catholic will aim to continue their three-game streak of scoring more runs each match than the last.
