More won the last time they faced Summit Tahoma and things went their way on Tuesday too. The Knights put the hurt on the Tigers with a sharp 19-1 victory. The result was nothing new for the Knights, who have now won ten matchups by seven runs or more so far this season.

Zep Cortese and Anthony Selway made a big impact while hitting and pitching. On the mound, Cortese struck out eight batters over 2.2 innings while giving up no earned runs or hits (and only one walk). Meanwhile, Selway struck out six batters over two innings while giving up no earned runs or hits. He has been consistent for a while: he hasn't given up more than two walks in ten consecutive appearances. At the plate, Cortese went 1-for-3 with one run, one double, and one RBI, while Selway went a perfect 3-for-3 with three runs, one stolen base, and one double. That's the most hits Selway has posted since back in April of 2024.

In other batting news, More got a massive performance out of Sean Selway, who went a perfect 2-for-2 with one triple, one stolen base, and two RBI. That's the most RBI Selway has posted since back in April. Another player making a difference was Tim Bumb, who went a perfect 2-for-2 with three RBI and two runs.

More always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .775. That's the best OBP they've posted all season.

More has been performing incredibly well recently as they've won ten of their last 11 games. That's provided a nice bump to their 16-9 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.6 runs on average over those games. As for Summit Tahoma, they are on a three-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 2-12.

Both squads will have to hit the road in their upcoming games. More will take on Silver Creek at 7:00 p.m. on Wednesday. The Knights' pitchers better be ready for this one: the Raiders have averaged an impressive 11.6 runs per game this season. As for Summit Tahoma, they will head out on the road to take on San Jose at 4:00 p.m. on Thursday. The Bulldogs have struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed 11.21 runs per game on average), something the Tigers will no doubt try to take advantage of.
