Center Moriches won the last time they faced John Glenn and things went their way on Thursday too. The Red Devils blew past the Knights 13-2. Considering the Red Devils have won seven matches by more than six runs this season, Thursday's blowout was nothing new.

Joe Hiller made a big impact while hitting and pitching. On the mound, he struck out eight batters over 6.2 innings while giving up just two earned runs off six hits (and only one walk). He has been nothing but reliable: he hasn't tossed less than eight strikeouts in four consecutive appearances. He was also solid in the batter's box, getting on base in four of his five plate appearances with one run.

In other batting news, Center Moriches let Luke Rebore Costanzo and JT Bonventre run wild. Rebore Costanzo went 3-for-4 with three runs, three RBI, and one stolen base, while Bonventre went 3-for-4 with two runs, one triple, and one stolen base. That's the most hits Bonventre has posted since back in March of 2024. Max Rayburn was another key player, going 1-for-4 with two runs, one triple, and one stolen base.

Center Moriches kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 13 hits. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as John Glenn only managed eight hits.

The victory made it two in a row for Center Moriches and bumps their season record up to 14-5. Those wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered a grand total of 5 runs in those games. As for John Glenn, they have traveled a rocky road recently, having lost ten of their last 11 games. That's put a noticeable dent in their 3-16 record this season.

Center Moriches will have a chance to go back-to-back against John Glenn: the pair's next game is a rematch scheduled at 4:00 p.m. on Friday.
