Greencastle lost a heartbreaker the last time they played Edgewood, but it's fair to say they got their revenge given the result of Tuesday's matchup. The Tiger Cubs put the hurt on the Mustangs with a sharp 10-3 victory on Tuesday. The result was nothing new for the Tiger Cubs, who have now won six contests by seven runs or more so far this season.

Bryton Gregg and Nathan Sutherlin were major factors no matter where they played. Throwing, Gregg struck out six batters over five innings while giving up just two earned (and one unearned) runs off five hits. Meanwhile, Sutherlin tossed two innings while giving up no earned runs or hits. He has been consistent: he hasn't given up more than two walks in six consecutive appearances. At bat, Gregg got on base in three of his five plate appearances with two runs, while Sutherlin went 2-for-4 with four RBI, two runs, and one stolen base.

In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Sam Gooch, who got on base in four of his five plate appearances with three stolen bases and three runs. He is becoming a predictor of Greencastle's success: when he posts at least two runs the team is undefeated (and 1-3 when he doesn't). Ashton Dayhuff also deserves some recognition as he snagged his first stolen base of the season.

Greencastle always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .526. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Edgewood only posted an OBP of .333.

Greencastle's win was their fifth straight at home, which pushed their record up to 9-3. Those home victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 10.6 runs over those games. As for Edgewood, their loss was their first in the conference, dropping their conference record down to 4-1 and their overall record down to 5-4.

We've got plenty of inter-conference action coming up soon. Greencastle is set to challenge their familiar foe Indian Creek at 6:00 p.m. on Wednesday. Meanwhile, Edgewood will take on rival Northview at 6:00 p.m. on Wednesday.
