There's no place like home for Rolling Meadows, who bounced back after a loss on the road on Monday. Their pitchers stepped up to hand the Elgin Maroons a 15-0 shutout on Tuesday. Considering the Mustangs have won nine contests by more than five runs this season, Tuesday's blowout was nothing new.

Rolling Meadows got a massive performance out of Tony Romanacce, who went a perfect 3-for-3 with three runs, three RBI, and two doubles. Those three hits gave Romanacce a new career-high. The team also got some help courtesy of Ryan Schneider, who got on base in all four of his plate appearances with four RBI, one stolen base, and one run.

They weren't the only ones making solid contact: Rolling Meadows kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 11 hits. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Elgin only managed three hits.

Rolling Meadows' win was their third straight at home, which pushed their record up to 15-4. Those home victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 10.0 runs over those games. As for Elgin, they are on a seven-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 3-10.

Both squads are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. Rolling Meadows will welcome Buffalo Grove at 4:45 p.m. on Wednesday. As for Elgin, they will host Elmwood Park at 4:30 p.m. on Wednesday. The Tigers have struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed seven runs per game on average), something the Maroons will no doubt try to take advantage of.
