The Villages Charter put another one in the bag on Friday to keep their perfect season alive. They put the hurt on the Forest Wildcats with a sharp 8-1 win. The eight-run effort marked the Buffalo's lowest-scoring match of the season, but in the end it didn't matter.
Samuel Craig spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered only one earned run on six hits and racked up eight Ks. He has been consistent recently: he hasn't given up more than one earned run in three consecutive appearances.
On the hitting side, Logan Godwin was excellent, scoring a run and stealing a base while going 1-for-2. Landon Howell also deserves some recognition as he got his first hit of the season.
