Eastern lost to Warren last Wednesday, but they didn't allow them the same satisfaction on Monday. The Eagles blew past the Warriors 14-2. The result was nothing new for the Eagles, who have now won 13 matches by seven runs or more so far this season.

Eastern got a great performance from Clayton Moore as he tossed five innings while giving up just two earned runs off eight hits. Moore has been consistent for a while: he hasn't given up more than two walks in nine consecutive appearances.

At the plate, the team relied heavily on Ethan Edwards, who went 3-for-4 with three stolen bases, two runs, and two RBI. He is on a roll when it comes to stolen bases, as he's now snagged at least one in each of the last five games he's played. The team also got some help courtesy of Ayden Wilhelm, who got on base in three of his four plate appearances with three stolen bases and two runs.

Eastern always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .556. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Warren only posted an OBP of .318.

Eastern has been performing well recently as they've won 13 of their last 16 contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 18-5 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.6 runs on average over those games. As for Warren, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 10-9.

Coming up, Eastern will face off against Southern at 5:00 p.m. on Tuesday. As for Warren, they will take on Caldwell at 5:00 p.m. on Tuesday. The Redskins' pitching crew has only allowed 2.3 runs per game this season, so the Warriors' hitters will have their work cut out for them.
