Taunton won against Mansfield on Friday with 11 runs and they decided to stick to that run total again on Monday. The Tigers beat the Milford Scarlet Hawks by the very same score they won with in their prior game: 11-1. The Tigers might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won seven matchups by six runs or more this season.

Ryan Crowley looked comfortable as he pitched one inning while giving up no earned runs or hits. He has been consistent: he hasn't given up more than two walks any time he's pitched this season.

At the plate, Cam Dorr and Joseph Benoit did most of the damage at the plate: Dorr went a perfect 2-for-2 with three RBI, two runs, and one stolen base, while Benoit went a perfect 2-for-2 with three runs, one triple, and two RBI. Those three runs gave Benoit a new career-high. The team also got some help courtesy of Jeremy Knief, who went 1-for-2 with three stolen bases and two runs.

Taunton always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .615. That's the best OBP they've posted all season.

The victory made it two in a row for Taunton and bumps their season record up to 12-3. Those wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered a grand total of 2 run in those games. As for Milford, their defeat was their eighth straight on the road dating back to last season, which dropped their record down to 4-10.

Both teams will have to hit the road in their upcoming games. Taunton will face off against Oliver Ames at 3:45 p.m. on Wednesday. As for Milford, they will square off against Foxborough at 3:45 p.m. on Wednesday. The Warriors' pitching crew has only allowed 3.8 runs per game this season, so the Scarlet Hawks' hitters will have their work cut out for them.
