Leroy barely beat Millry the last time the pair played, but that sure wasn't the case this time around. The Bears blew past the Wildcats 10-4 on Friday. The Bears might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won nine contests by six runs or more this season.

Keegan Giles made a big impact no matter where he played. He struck out eight batters over seven innings while giving up three earned (and one unearned) runs off seven hits. He has been nothing but reliable on the mound: he hasn't given up more than two walks in five consecutive appearances. He was also solid in the batter's box, going 3-for-4 with one run and one RBI.

In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Sawyer Sullivan, who got on base in all five of his plate appearances with two stolen bases and two runs. Braydyn Evans also deserves some recognition as he hit his first double of the season.

The victory (which was Leroy's third in a row) raised their record to 16-4. Those wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 3.3 runs on average over those games. As for Millry, they are on a three-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 7-10.
