Urban hadn't done well against Lick-Wilmerding recently (they were 1-7 in their previous eight matchups), but they didn't let the past get in their way on Tuesday. The Blues put the hurt on the Tigers with a sharp 10-0 victory. Considering the Blues have won seven games by more than nine runs this season, Tuesday's blowout was nothing new.

The result came thanks to Will Perkins's shutout, as he gave up just three hits.

At the plate, Urban let Conor Darling and Kaden Fox-Gabel run wild. Darling went 2-for-4 with two runs, one triple, and two RBI, while Fox-Gabel went 2-for-3 with one triple, two RBI, and one run. That's the most RBI Fox-Gabel has posted since back in March. Carter Dirkes was another key player, going 2-for-4 with three RBI and one run.

Urban was getting hits left and right and finished the game having posted a batting average of .419. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Lick-Wilmerding only posted a batting average of .143.

The win (which was Urban's third in a row) raised their record to 12-4. The victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 9.7 runs over those games. As for Lick-Wilmerding, they are on a seven-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 5-10.

Urban didn't take long to hit the field again: they've already played their next contest, an 18-8 win against International on the 29th. Hopefully Lick-Wilmerding paid attention to the Blues' matchup: the next time they hit the field , they'll take on the Blues at 3:30 p.m. on Friday.
