The result was nothing new for the Maroons, who have now won six matchups by six runs or more so far this season.

That home run marked the first that Gaskin has launched this season. The team also got some help courtesy of Will Adams, who got on base in two of his four plate appearances with three stolen bases and one run.

They weren't the only ones working in the home run department: Pulaski County lost a few balls and finished the game with two home runs. That's the most home runs they've posted since back in March.

Pulaski County pushed their record up to 14-5 with the victory, which was their sixth straight at home. Those home wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 7.5 runs over those games.
