While Springboro put up some runs on Thursday, the same can't be said for Arcanum. The Panthers were the clear victors by a 6-0 margin over the Trojans. The Panthers might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won ten contests by six runs or more this season.

Bodie Abbott looked comfortable as he pitched three innings while giving up no earned runs off two hits. The dominant performance also gave him a new career-high in strikeouts (three).

At the plate, Springboro saw six different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Drew Davis, who went 2-for-3 with two runs and one RBI. Another was Ben Veletean, who got on base in three of his four plate appearances with one stolen base and two RBI.

Springboro's win was their fourth straight at home, which pushed their record up to 17-8. Those home victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.5 runs on average over those games. As for Arcanum, the defeat snapped their winning streak at three games and leaves them with a 13-5 record.

Looking ahead, Springboro will host Fairmont at 5:00 p.m. on Friday. The last four games the Firebirds have played have been within two runs, so don't be surprised if it's a close one. Arcanum has already played their next game (against Anna), but no score has been uploaded at the time of writing.
