Scarborough came out on top against Westbrook on Tuesday thanks in part to the team's impressive four-run sixth inning. The Red Storm put the hurt on the Blue Blazes with a sharp 8-1 victory. The Red Storm might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won eight contests by seven runs or more this season.
Scarborough also got a great performance from Liam Vines as he didn't allow a single earned run over six innings pitched.
On the hitting side, Finn Coburn was incredible, going 1-for-4 with two stolen bases, two runs, and one triple. That triple marked the first that he has hit this season. Matthew Fallona was another key player, getting on base in two of his four plate appearances with four stolen bases.
Scarborough's win was their 16th straight on the road dating back to last season, which pushed their record up to 14-1. Those road victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 7.8 runs over those games. As for South Portland, their win bumped their record up to 11-4.
The pitchers for both teams better look sharp on Wednesday as neither team is afraid to steal. South Portland has been swiping bases left and right this season, having averaged 3.1 stolen bases per game. However, it's not like Scarborough struggles in that department as they've been averaging an even more impressive 6.1 stolen bases. The only question left is which team can snag more.
