Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Falkner). They were the clear victors by a 31-4 margin over the Jumpertown Cardinals on Friday. Considering the Eagles have won ten contests by more than five runs this season, Friday's blowout was nothing new.

Falkner got a massive performance out of Jackson Jordan, who went 4-for-6 with four stolen bases, six RBI, and four runs. What's more, Jordan posted two doubles, the most he's had over his last nine matches. Another player making a difference was Graydon Newby, who scored six runs and stole three bases while getting on base in five of his six plate appearances.

Falkner always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .714. That's the best OBP they've posted all season.

Falkner has been performing incredibly well recently as they've won nine of their last ten games. That's provided a nice bump to their 13-4 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 13.9 runs over those games. Jumpertown's loss was their fourth straight at home, which dropped their record down to 1-9.

Both teams will have to hit the road in their upcoming games. Falkner will square off against Potts Camp at 1:00 p.m. on Saturday. Potts Camp has struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed 10.55 runs per game on average), something Falkner will no doubt try to take advantage of. As for Jumpertown, a feisty cat fight will be fought as Jumpertown Cardinals face off against Biggersville Lions at 2:00 p.m. on Saturday. They are facing Biggersville at the right time seeing as Biggersville is stuck on an 11-game losing streak.
