Princeton had to skate by with only a two-run margin when they last took the field, which might have inspired the eight-run drubbing they dealt Oak Hill on Friday. The Tigers blew past the Red Devils 9-1. The Tigers might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won eight matchups by eight runs or more this season.

Brody Combs made a big impact no matter where he played. On the mound, he kept things locked down with no earned runs or hits while striking out ten over four innings pitched. He also tossed no walks, which is notable because Princeton is undefeated when he allows at most one walk, but 9-10 otherwise. Combs was also big at the plate, going 2-for-3 with one run and one RBI.

In other batting news, John David Meadows was excellent, going 1-for-3 with one triple, one run, and one RBI. That triple marked the first that he has hit this season. Another player making a difference was Kaden Davis, who went 1-for-3 with one stolen base, one run, and one double.

The win was the third in a row for Princeton, bringing their record up to 14-10. Those victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 12.0 runs over those games. As for Oak Hill, they dropped their record down to 4-21 with the defeat, which was their sixth straight on the road.

Looking ahead, Princeton will look to defend their home field on Monday against Nicholas County at 5:30 p.m. The Tigers' pitchers better be ready for this one: the Grizzlies have averaged an impressive 9 runs per game this season. As for Oak Hill, they will take on Huntington at 7:00 p.m. on Monday. The Red Devils' pitchers better be ready for this one: the Highlanders have averaged an impressive 6.3 runs per game this season.
