Wells came tearing into Tuesday's match with six straight wins (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 10.8 runs), and they left with even more momentum. Everything went their way against the Carlin Railroaders as they made off with an 18-8 win. The Leopards might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won 13 games by six runs or more this season.

Michael Aguilar and Dentin Allen were major factors while hitting and pitching. On the mound, Aguilar tossed two innings while giving up just one earned run off one hit. Meanwhile, Allen struck out seven batters over three innings while giving up just one earned (and six unearned) runs off nine hits (and not a single walk). He has been consistent: he hasn't given up more than two walks in seven consecutive appearances. At bat, Aguilar got on base in two of his four plate appearances with two stolen bases, two runs, and two RBI, while Allen got on base in two of his four plate appearances with two runs and one stolen base.

In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Adam Eggleston, who got on base in all four of his plate appearances with two stolen bases, three runs, and two RBI. That's the most stolen bases he has posted since back in March. Colton Morrison also deserves some recognition as he got his first hit of the season.

Wells always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .639. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Carlin only posted an OBP of .083.

Wells pushed their record up to 14-3 with the victory, which was their seventh straight at home dating back to last season. The home wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 15.6 runs over those games. As for Carlin, they are on a 31-game losing streak (dating back to last season) that has dropped them down to 0-12.

The teams didn't have to wait long for a rematch: Wells beat the Railroaders by a score of 8-7 later that day.
