Cherokee Trail pushed their record up to 15-10 with the victory, which was their third straight on the road. The road wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 0.0 runs on average over those games. As for Legacy, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 16-9.
