Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Maconaquah). They were the clear victors by a 13-6 margin over the Whitko Wildcats on Monday. The result was nothing new for the Braves, who have now won three matches by seven runs or more so far this season.
Deven Mitchell spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered four earned (and two unearned) runs on six hits and racked up nine Ks.
