There's no place like home for O'Connor, who bounced back after a loss on the road last Wednesday. They blew past the Brennan Bears 12-4 on Saturday. Considering the Panthers have won five games by more than five runs this season, Saturday's blowout was nothing new.

Dalton Blake spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered only one earned (and three unearned) runs on four hits. O'Connor is undefeated when Blake allowsone or fewer earned runs, but 5-7 otherwise.

At the plate, the team relied heavily on Rudy Perez, who went 2-for-4 with two triples and two runs. Those two triples gave him a new career-high. The team also got some help courtesy of Cali-Evan Billela, who went 2-for-4 with two runs and one triple.

O'Connor now has a winning record of 8-7. As for Brennan, the defeat snapped their winning streak at five games and leaves them with a 7-6 record.

Coincidentally, O'Connor and Brennan will both be playing Marshall the next time they take the field. Brennan will head out to face Marshall at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday, while O'Connor will host them at 4:45 p.m. on April 1.
