Dunkirk barely beat Olean the last time the pair played, but that sure wasn't the case this time around. The Marauders put the hurt on the Huskies with a sharp 13-3 victory on Saturday. Considering the Marauders have won seven contests by more than five runs this season, Saturday's blowout was nothing new.

Josh Lemanski was a major factor no matter where he played. He pitched four innings while giving up just two earned runs off five hits. He has been consistent for a while: he hasn't given up more than two walks in nine consecutive appearances. He was also solid in the batter's box, getting on base in two of his four plate appearances with three runs, one stolen base, and one RBI. That's the most runs he has posted since back in April.

In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Paul Trippy, who went 2-for-3 with three runs, one triple, and one stolen base. He has been hot, having posted at least one stolen base the last seven times he's played. Another player making a difference was Henry Leone, who got on base in all three of his plate appearances with two stolen bases and two runs.

The win made it two in a row for Dunkirk and bumps their season record up to 14-2. The victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered a grand total of 4 runs in those games. As for Olean, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 11-5.

Dunkirk didn't take long to hit the field again: they've already played their next game, an 11-2 defeat against Hamburg on the 17th. Olean has also already played their next matchup (against Salamanca), but no score has been uploaded at the time of writing.
