Richmond Hill had already won five in a row (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 6.6 runs) and they went ahead and made it six on Friday. Their pitchers stepped up to hand the Van Arsdale Cardinals a 10-0 shutout. The result was nothing new for the Lions, who have now won seven games by six runs or more so far this season.

Adrian Hernandez V made a splash no matter where he played. He looked comfortable on the mound, keeping things locked down with no earned runs or hits while striking out six over four innings pitched. He has been nothing but reliable: he hasn't given up more than one earned run in seven consecutive appearances. He was also solid in the batter's box, going 1-for-4 with two runs and one RBI.

In other pitching news, Malachi Butler looked comfortable as he tossed one inning while giving up no earned runs or hits. He has been consistent: he hasn't given up a single earned run in six consecutive appearances.

Back at the plate, Christopher Duarte was excellent, going 2-for-3 with three RBI and one triple. Those three RBI gave him a new career-high. Abel Ortiz was another key player, going 1-for-2 with two runs, one double, and one RBI.

Richmond Hill's win was their third straight at home, which pushed their record up to 12-2-1. Those home victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.0 run on average over those games. As for Van Arsdale, their loss dropped their record down to 3-15.

As of now, neither Richmond Hill nor the Cardinals have any future games scheduled.
