Lowellville had already won four in a row (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 4.5 runs) and they went ahead and made it five on Tuesday. They put the hurt on the Mathews Mustangs with a sharp 15-5 win. This was payback for the Rockets, who suffered a 6-5 defeat the last time these two teams met.

Tyler Tuscano made a splash while hitting and pitching. He pitched four innings while giving up just one earned (and two unearned) runs off three hits. He has become a key player for Lowellville: the team is undefeated when he allows at most one earned run, but 5-6 otherwise. Tuscano was even better at the plate, getting on base in three of his four plate appearances with three runs, one stolen base, and one double. That's the most runs he has posted since back in March.

In other batting news, Kasen Smith and Kaden Primous did most of the damage at the plate: Smith went a perfect 3-for-3 with five RBI, two runs, and one double, while Primous went a perfect 2-for-2 with four RBI, two runs, and one triple. Those three hits gave Smith a new career-high. The team also got some help courtesy of Geno Perry, who went 2-for-3 with one triple, one run, and one RBI.

Lowellville always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .647. That's the best OBP they've posted all season.

Lowellville pushed their record up to 8-6 with the victory, which was their fourth straight at home. The home wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 11.0 runs over those games. As for Mathews, they have traveled a rocky road recently, having lost seven of their last eight matchups. That's put a noticeable dent in their 3-8 record this season.

Both squads will have to hit the road in their upcoming games. Lowellville will head out to challenge Memorial at 5:00 p.m. on Wednesday. The Rockets are facing the Red Devils at the right time seeing as the Red Devils are stuck on a nine-game losing streak. As for Mathews, they are taking a road trip to face off against Maplewood at 5:00 p.m. on Wednesday. The Mustangs' pitchers better be ready for this one: the Rockets have averaged an impressive 10 runs per game this season.
