Dunedin barely beat Hollins the last time the pair played, but that sure wasn't the case this time around. The Dunedin Falcons never let the Hollins Royals get on the board and left with a 10-0 victory on Wednesday. That looming 10-0 mark stands out as the most commanding margin for the Falcons yet this season.

Cian Roche looked comfortable as he pitched three innings while giving up no earned runs off two hits. He has been consistent recently: he hasn't given up more than two hits any time he's pitched this season.

On the hitting side, Dunedin got a big performance out of Demetris Tsesmelis, who went 2-for-3 with two runs, one triple, and two RBI. That triple marked the first that Tsesmelis' hit this season. Aiden Sherifi was another key player, scoring two runs and stealing a base while going 2-for-3.

Dunedin always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .567. That's the best OBP they've posted all season.

Dunedin has been performing well recently as they've won three of their last four games. That's provided a nice bump to their 4-2 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.0 runs over those games. Hollins now has a losing record of 2-3.

Both teams are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. Dunedin will welcome Wesley Chapel at 6:30 p.m. on Thursday. The two teams have allowed few runs on average, (Dunedin: 1.8, Wesley Chapel: 2.8) so any runs scored will be well earned. As for Hollins, they will be defending their home field for the first time this season when they go up against Boca Ciega at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Hollins is facing Boca Ciega at the right time seeing as Boca Ciega is stuck on a seven-game losing streak.
