14 must be Napoleon's lucky number: they beat Lake with that score not once but twice on Friday. The Wildcats beat the Flyers by the very same score they won with in their prior game: 14-2. Considering the Wildcats have won 12 matchups by more than five runs this season, Friday's blowout was nothing new.

Parker Woods and Owen Espinoza did most of the damage at the plate: Woods went a perfect 4-for-4 with four runs, one triple, and one stolen base, while Espinoza went 3-for-4 with five RBI, three runs, and one double. Woods has been hot recently, having posted at least one stolen base the last three times he's played. The team also got some help courtesy of Paul Sausser, who went a perfect 2-for-2 with one stolen base and one run.

Napoleon is on a roll lately: they've won nine of their last ten contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 21-6-1 record this season. Those wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 3.0 runs on average over those games. As for Lake, their defeat ended a three-game streak of away wins and brought them to 20-7.

Napoleon didn't take long to hit the field again: they've already played their next game, a 3-0 loss against Benedictine on the 4th. Lake does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
