Roxana's rock-solid pitcher showed up for the team's third consecutive shutout on Friday. They never let the Mater Dei Knights get on the board and left with a 7-0 win. The Shells might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won six games by six runs or more this season.
Dalton Carriker was a major factor while hitting and pitching. He looked comfortable on the mound, not allowing a single earned run and allowing only two hits while striking out ten over seven innings pitched. Those ten strikeouts gave him a new career-high. He was also big at the plate, going 2-for-4 with two stolen bases and one RBI.

Roxana pushed their record up to 10-2-1 with the victory, which was their fifth straight at home dating back to last season. Those home wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 7.6 runs over those games. As for Mater Dei, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 2-5.
