Burns had already won two in a row (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 10 runs) and they went ahead and made it three on Friday. They were the clear victors by an 18-0 margin over the Shelby Golden Lions. The Bulldogs might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won 15 games by six runs or more this season.

Burns' victory was their fifth straight at home, which pushed their record up to 20-3. The home wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.2 runs on average over those games. As for Shelby, they are on a four-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 5-15.

Looking ahead, Burns will look to defend their home field on Monday against Cherryville at 7:00 p.m. The Ironmen's pitching crew has only allowed 3.6 runs per game this season, so the Bulldogs' hitters will have their work cut out for them. As for Shelby, they will venture away from home to take on Hendersonville at 4:30 p.m. on Monday. The Golden Lions are facing the Bearcats at the right time seeing as the Bearcats are stuck on a four-game losing streak.
