There's no place like home for Heritage, who bounced back after a loss on the road last Monday. They never let the Loudon Redskins get on the board and left with a 10-0 win on Tuesday. The result was nothing new for the Mountaineers, who have now won 11 games by six runs or more so far this season.

Hayden Sanders made a big impact while hitting and pitching. He looked comfortable on the mound, not allowing a single earned run and allowing only two hits over five innings pitched. He has been nothing but reliable: he hasn't tossed less than five strikeouts in three consecutive appearances. He was also solid in the batter's box, going 1-for-2 with three RBI and one triple.

In other batting news, Braden Cooper was incredible, going a perfect 3-for-3 with four RBI, two doubles, and one stolen base. That's the most doubles he has posted since back in March. Gaven French was another key player, scoring two runs while going 3-for-3.

Heritage always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .594. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Loudon only posted an OBP of .333.

Heritage's record now sits at 16-10. As for Loudon, their defeat dropped their record down to 11-15.

Coming up, Heritage will take on Eagleton College & Career Academy at 6:00 p.m. on Wednesday. The Mountaineers' pitchers better be ready for this one: the Royals have averaged an impressive 8.7 runs per game this season. As for Loudon, they will challenge Alcoa at 5:05 p.m. on Thursday. The Tornadoes' pitching crew has only allowed 2.8 runs per game this season, so the Redskins' hitters will have their work cut out for them.
