Prairie came tearing into Saturday's match with three straight wins (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 15.3 runs), and they left with even more momentum. Everything went their way against the Genesee Bulldogs as they made off with a 25-8 win. The result was nothing new for the Pirates, who have now won five contests by nine runs or more so far this season.

Jake Quintal was incredible, going 3-for-5 with seven RBI, three runs, and one stolen base. He is becoming a predictor of Prairie's success: when he posts at least two runs the team is undefeated (and 1-4 when he doesn't). Chris Schumacher also deserves some recognition as he hit his first triple of the season.

Prairie always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .595. That was just more of the same: they've now posted an OBP of .586 or higher in four consecutive games.

Prairie's victory was their third straight on the road, which pushed their record up to 6-4. The road wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 17.0 runs over those games. As for Genesee, they are on a four-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 6-8-1.

The Pirates are facing the Wildcats at the right time seeing as the Wildcats are stuck on a seven-game losing streak. As for Genesee, they will be playing at home against Kendrick at 4:30 p.m. on Monday. The Tigers' pitching crew has only allowed 2.8 runs per game this season, so the Bulldogs' hitters will have their work cut out for them.
