Highland came tearing into Saturday's contest with five straight wins (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 10.4 runs), and they left with even more momentum. Everything went their way against the Wray Eagles as they made off with an 11-1 win. The result was nothing new for the Huskies, who have now won seven games by nine runs or more so far this season.

Sawyer Morgan and Lucas Kopetzky made a big impact no matter where they played. Throwing, Morgan kept things locked down with no earned runs or hits while striking out six over four innings pitched. Meanwhile, Kopetzky pitched three innings while giving up no earned runs off three hits. He has been nothing but reliable on the mound: he hasn't given up more than two walks in six consecutive appearances. At bat, Morgan got on base in three of his five plate appearances with three RBI and two runs, while Kopetzky went a perfect 1-for-1 with two RBI. Those two RBI gave Kopetzky a new career-high.

In other batting news, Stetson Hendren was incredible, going 2-for-3 with one home run, three RBI, and two runs. He is also on a roll when it comes to stolen bases, as he's now snagged at least one in each of the last four games he's played. Another player making a difference was John Bingley, who got on base in three of his five plate appearances with three runs and one stolen base.

Highland's victory was their fourth straight on the road, which pushed their record up to 10-4-1. Those road wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.5 runs on average over those games. As for Wray, they are on a four-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 4-8.

Coming up, Highland will square off against Akron at 4:00 p.m. on Friday. As for Wray, they will face off against Caliche at 2:00 p.m. on Thursday. The Buffaloes have struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed 11.12 runs per game on average), something the Eagles will no doubt try to take advantage of.
