Northeast Jones barely beat Morton the last time the pair played, but that sure wasn't the case this time around. The Tigers put the hurt on the Panthers with a sharp 16-2 victory on Tuesday. Considering the Tigers have won ten contests by more than six runs this season, Tuesday's blowout was nothing new.

Ryne Herrington spent all five innings played on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered two runs (both of which were unearned) on three hits.

On the hitting side, Carter Wiginton was incredible, scoring four runs and stealing a base while getting on base in all four of his plate appearances. That's the most runs he has posted since back in February. The team also got some help courtesy of Asher McBride, who went 2-for-3 with one home run, one stolen base, and two RBI.

Northeast Jones always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .658. They are a perfect 8-0 when they post an OBP of .513 or better.

The win was the fourth in a row for Northeast Jones, bringing their record up to 13-6-1. Those victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.5 runs on average over those games. As for Morton, their defeat was their fourth straight at home, which dropped their record down to 8-12.

The teams didn't have to wait long for a rematch: Northeast Jones beat the Panthers by a score of 9-0 on Thursday.
