Perquimans had already won five in a row (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 6.6 runs) and they went ahead and made it six on Monday. They put the hurt on the Gates County Red Barons with a sharp 11-1 victory. Considering the Pirates have won 12 games by more than five runs this season, Monday's blowout was nothing new.

Cameron Goodrow made a splash while hitting and pitching. On the mound, he struck out eight batters over five innings while giving up just one earned run off two hits (and only one walk). Goodrow was also big at the plate, going 2-for-3 with two stolen bases, one run, and one RBI. That's the most stolen bases he has posted since back in March.

In other batting news, Sean Saunders was excellent, getting on base in three of his four plate appearances with three runs and one double. Another player making a difference was Nixon Winslow, who went 1-for-2 with one run and one RBI.

Perquimans always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .562. The team's really been improving in that area: they've now improved their OBP total in three consecutive matches.

Perquimans pushed their record up to 17-4 with the win, which was their ninth straight at home. Those home victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 11.7 runs over those games. As for Gates County, their defeat dropped their record down to 7-12.

Both teams are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. Perquimans will take on Currituck County at 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday. The Knights will roll in looking for their eighth straight win, something the Pirates surely won't give up without a fight. As for Gates County, they will look to defend their home field on Tuesday against Camden County at 4:00 p.m. The Bruins' pitching crew has only allowed 3.6 runs per game this season, so the Red Barons' hitters will have their work cut out for them.
