Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Mayfield). Their pitchers stepped up to hand the Northville Falcons a 17-0 shutout on Sunday. Perhaps unsurprisingly given the team's high-flying offense, the game also marked the team's biggest victory of the season.

Cubby Roth (C) and Grady Shea made a big impact while hitting and pitching. Throwing, Roth (C) tossed two innings while giving up no earned runs or hits. Meanwhile, Shea pitched 2.2 innings while giving up no earned runs off two hits. Roth (C) has been nothing but reliable on the mound: he hasn't tossed less than five strikeouts in five consecutive appearances. At the plate, Roth (C) got on base in four of his five plate appearances with four runs, two stolen bases, and one triple, while Shea got on base in three of his four plate appearances with two runs and one stolen base.

In other batting news, Aiden Horn (C) was incredible, getting on base in three of his four plate appearances with two stolen bases, two RBI, and one run. He is becoming a predictor of Mayfield's success: when he posts at least two stolen bases the team is 3-1 (and 0-10 when he doesn't). The team also got some help courtesy of Gavin Schur, who went a perfect 1-for-1 with two RBI and one run.

Mayfield hit smart and finished the game with only two strikeouts. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Northville struck out eight times.

The win made it two in a row for Mayfield and bumps their season record up to 3-11.
