Thorndale was not the first on the board on Tuesday, but they got there more often. They blew past the Granger Lions 18-4. The result was nothing new for the Bulldogs, who have now won nine matchups by seven runs or more so far this season.

Gunner Ferguson made a big impact while hitting and pitching. On the mound, he tossed two innings while giving up just one earned run but no hits. He has been nothing but reliable: he hasn't given up more than two walks in four consecutive appearances. He was also stellar in the batter's box, scoring a run and stealing two bases while going 2-for-6.

In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Cole Harkins, who got on base in five of his six plate appearances with three runs, three doubles, and two RBI. Those three doubles gave him a new career-high. Will Cloud was another key player, scoring three runs and stealing a base while getting on base in three of his five plate appearances.

Thorndale kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 14 hits. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Granger only managed four hits.

The win (which was Thorndale's fourth in a row) raised their record to 14-3. The victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 14.3 runs over those games. As for Granger, their defeat dropped their record down to 4-6.

We've got plenty of inter-district action coming up soon. Thorndale is set to square off against their familiar foe Bartlett at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Both teams are headed into the matchup with plenty of momentum (Thorndale has won 17 straight at home dating back to last season, while Bartlett won six straight on the road), something that'll have to change. Meanwhile, Granger will face off against rival Holland at 7:00 p.m. on the 17th.
