Silver Creek won against Frederick on Tuesday with nine runs and they decided to stick to that run total again on Thursday. The Raptors put the hurt on the Centaurus Warriors with a sharp 9-3 win. The result was nothing new for the Raptors, who have now won seven matchups by six runs or more so far this season.

Nolan Gaccetta spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered three runs (all of which were unearned) on three hits and racked up eight Ks. He also tossed no earned runs, which is notable because Silver Creek is 5-1 when he allows at most one earned run, but 7-8 otherwise.

At the plate, Silver Creek let Connor Lopez and Nathen Canfield run wild. Lopez went 3-for-4 with three runs and one stolen base, while Canfield went 3-for-4 with two RBI, one run, and one double. That's the most runs Lopez has posted since back in March. The team also got some help courtesy of Hector Correa, who went 2-for-4 with one triple, two RBI, and one run.

They weren't the only ones making solid contact: Silver Creek kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 12 hits. They are a perfect 4-0 when they post 11 or more hits.

The victory was the fourth in a row for Silver Creek, bringing their record up to 12-9. The wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 4.0 runs on average over those games. As for Centaurus, they have traveled a rocky road recently, having lost three of their last four contests. That's put a noticeable dent in their 9-11-1 record this season.

We've got plenty of inter-league action coming up soon. Silver Creek will challenge rival Niwot at 4:00 p.m. on Tuesday. Meanwhile, Centaurus is set to take on their familiar foe Monarch at 4:00 p.m. on Tuesday.
