While Mifflin put up plenty of runs on Wednesday, the same can't be said for South. The Punchers were the clear victors by a 16-0 margin over the Bulldogs. The Punchers might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won six matchups by six runs or more this season.

Wilfred Torres and Adrian Hernandez made a big impact while hitting and pitching. On the mound, Torres pitched two innings while giving up no earned runs or hits. Meanwhile, Hernandez pitched three innings while giving up no earned runs off three hits. At the plate, Torres went 4-for-5 with three runs and one RBI, while Hernandez went 2-for-4 with two runs, one stolen base, and two RBI. Those three runs gave Torres a new career-high.

In other batting news, the team relied heavily on C Jean Baptiste, who went 1-for-4 with six RBI, two stolen bases, and three runs. Those two stolen bases gave him a new career-high. X Kingery was another key player, getting on base in all four of his plate appearances with three runs.

Mifflin always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .667. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as South only posted an OBP of .167.

Mifflin's win bumped their record up to 7-4. As for South, they dropped their record down to 2-5 with the defeat, which was their fifth straight on the road dating back to last season.
