Upperman had to skate by with only a one-run margin when they last took the field, which might have inspired the 12-run drubbing they dealt Cumberland County on Monday. The Bees never let the Jets get on the board and left with a 12-0 win. The result was nothing new for the Bees, who have now won eight matchups by six runs or more so far this season.

Alec Wilson was a major factor while hitting and pitching. He kept things locked down with no earned runs or hits while striking out ten over five innings pitched. He has been consistent : he hasn't tossed less than six strikeouts in seven consecutive appearances. He was also solid in the batter's box, going a perfect 3-for-3 with two RBI. That's the most hits he has posted since back in March.

In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Karsen Holroyd, who scored two runs and stole a base while going 1-for-2. Another player making a difference was Julian Llano, who scored a run while going 2-for-3.

Upperman kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 13 hits. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Cumberland County only managed one hit.

Upperman is on a roll lately: they've won ten of their last 11 games. That's provided a nice bump to their 14-8 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.6 runs on average over those games. As for Cumberland County, they are on a three-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 7-9.

Upperman will have a chance to go back-to-back against the Jets: the pair's next game is a rematch scheduled at 4:30 p.m. on Tuesday.
