There's no place like home for Pine Creek, who bounced back after a loss on the road on Tuesday. Everything went their way against the Liberty Lancers on Thursday as they made off with an 11-1 victory. The Eagles might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won five matchups by eight runs or more this season.

Aiden Wilson was a major factor while hitting and pitching. On the mound, he didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only two hits while striking out six over five innings pitched. He has been nothing but reliable: he hasn't given up a single earned run in three consecutive appearances. He was also big at the plate, going 2-for-4 with one home run and two RBI.

In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Tristan Mullis, who went a perfect 2-for-2 with three RBI and two runs. Jake Holm was another key player, going 3-for-4 with two runs and one RBI.

Pine Creek always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .545. That was just more of the same: they've now posted an OBP of .545 or higher in four consecutive games.

Pine Creek's win was their fourth straight at home, which pushed their record up to 9-3. Those home victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 3.3 runs on average over those games. As for Liberty, their loss dropped their record down to 7-10.

Looking ahead, Pine Creek will challenge Palmer Ridge at 2:30 p.m. on Saturday. The Bears have struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed 7.93 runs per game on average), something the Eagles will no doubt try to take advantage of. As for Liberty, they will head out on the road to square off against Discovery Canyon at 10:00 a.m. on the 26th.
