While Franklin Pierce put up plenty of runs on Tuesday, the same can't be said for Washington. The Cardinals were the clear victors by a 15-0 margin over the Patriots. Considering the Cardinals have won ten matches by more than five runs this season, Tuesday's blowout was nothing new.

Dustin Wallace made a splash while hitting and pitching. He looked comfortable on the mound, keeping things locked down with no earned runs or hits while striking out 12 over five innings pitched. That's the most strikeouts he has posted since back in April. He was also big at the plate, going 2-for-3 with three runs, three RBI, and one triple.

In other batting news, Lucas Larson and Elijah Sledge did most of the damage at the plate: Larson went 3-for-4 with three runs, two RBI, and one double, while Sledge went 3-for-4 with two runs, one stolen base, and one double. That's the most runs Larson has posted since back in April. Another player making a difference was Trey Smith, who went 2-for-3 with two runs and one double.

Franklin Pierce kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 13 hits. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now got at least nine hits in five consecutive contests.

Franklin Pierce has been performing incredibly well recently as they've won six of their last seven games. That's provided a nice bump to their 13-5 record this season. The victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.3 runs on average over those games. As for Washington, they dropped their record down to 4-15 with the defeat, which was their fourth straight on the road.

Franklin Pierce will have a chance to go back-to-back against the Patriots: the pair's next game is a rematch scheduled at 4:00 p.m. on Wednesday.
