Lucia went 2-for-4 with five RBI, one triple, and one run, while Giroux went a perfect 4-for-4 with four runs, one triple, and one RBI. Those five RBI gave Lucia a new career-high. Robbie Squier was another key player, going 2-for-4 with two runs and two RBI.

Saranac kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 16 hits. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now got at least eight hits in six consecutive games.

Saranac pushed their record up to 15-3 with the victory, which was their 11th straight at home dating back to last season. Those home wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.8 runs on average over those games. As for Moriah, their loss dropped their record down to 6-8.

Saranac will have some time to savor their victory since their next game is a little ways off: they'll take on AuSable Valley at 4:30 p.m. on the 30th. The Spartans are facing the Patriots at the right time seeing as the Patriots are stuck on a nine-game losing streak. Moriah does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
