Southampton had to skate by with only a two-run margin when they last took the field, which might have inspired the eight-run drubbing they dealt Denbigh on Monday. The Indians blew past the Patriots 14-6. The Indians might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won nine contests by eight runs or more this season.

Levi Butler was a major factor while hitting and pitching. He looked comfortable on the mound, striking out nine batters over six innings while giving up three earned (and two unearned) runs off five hits. He has been nothing but reliable: he hasn't tossed less than five strikeouts in three consecutive appearances. He was also solid in the batter's box, getting on base in three of his five plate appearances with two stolen bases and two runs.

In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Adin Brown, who went 3-for-4 with four stolen bases, two runs, and one double. That's the most hits he has posted since back in April. Gannon Ritter was another key player, going 2-for-3 with three runs, one stolen base, and two RBI.

Southampton always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .537. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Denbigh only posted an OBP of .371.

Southampton is on a roll lately: they've won seven of their last nine matchups. That's provided a nice bump to their 12-6 record this season. Those wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 3.3 runs on average over those games. As for Denbigh, they dropped their record down to 6-12 with the defeat, which was their fourth straight on the road.

Looking ahead, Southampton will look to defend their home field on Tuesday against Greensville County at 4:30 p.m. As for Denbigh, they will venture away from home to square off against Kecoughtan at 4:30 p.m. on Tuesday. The Patriots' pitchers better be ready for this one: the Warriors have averaged an impressive 10.1 runs per game this season.
