Mifflin won the last time they faced East and things went their way on Thursday too. The Punchers were the clear victors by a 12-2 margin over the Tigers. The result was nothing new for the Punchers, who have now won ten games by six runs or more so far this season.

X Kingery made a splash no matter where he played. He struck out nine batters over four innings while giving up just two earned runs off one hit (and not a single walk). He also tossed no walks, which is notable because Mifflin is undefeated when he allows at most one walk, but 8-10 otherwise. Kingery was also solid in the batter's box, going a perfect 2-for-2 with two runs, one stolen base, and one RBI.

In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Wilfred Torres, who got on base in all three of his plate appearances with two stolen bases, two runs, and two RBI. He has been hot, having posted at least one stolen base the last eight times he's played. C Jean Baptiste was another key player, getting on base in all four of his plate appearances with two runs, one stolen base, and one double.

Mifflin always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .759. That's the best OBP they've posted all season.

Mifflin pushed their record up to 11-10 with the victory, which was their fourth straight at home. Those home wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.8 runs on average over those games. As for East, their loss dropped their record down to 8-7-1.

Looking ahead, Mifflin will take on Columbus International at 5:30 p.m. on Monday. East does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
