Manchester had lost four games straight , but after bumping their record up to 10-11 on Monday that streak is in the rearview. Their pitcher stepped up to hand the Whitko Wildcats a 6-0 shutout. The Squires might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won seven matchups by six runs or more this season.

The result came thanks to Harper Sturtsman's shutout, as he gave up just a hit and racked up seven Ks. He has become a key player for Manchester: the team is 3-1 when he allows at most two hits, but 7-10 otherwise.

At the plate, the team relied heavily on Evan Estep, who went a perfect 3-for-3 with one home run, two runs, and one stolen base. That's the most runs he has posted since back in April. The team also got some help courtesy of Dallas Martin, who went 2-for-3 with one run, one double, and one RBI.

Manchester was getting hits left and right and finished the game having posted a batting average of .467. They are a perfect 6-0 when they post a batting average of .375 or better.

As for Whitko, they have been struggling recently as they've lost three of their last four contests. That's put a noticeable dent in their 10-8 record this season. They have now taken an 'L' in back-to-back games.

On Whitko's side, they saw two different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Easton Grable, who got on base in all three of his plate appearances with one double.
