Carroll lost a heartbreaker the last time they played Norwell, but it's fair to say they got their revenge given the result of Friday's match. The Chargers' pitchers stepped up to hand the Knights an 11-0 shutout on Friday. Considering the Chargers have won six games by more than six runs this season, Friday's blowout was nothing new.

The team relied heavily on Braden Christlieb, who got on base in all three of his plate appearances with two runs, one triple, and two RBI. That triple was his first of the season. The team also got some help courtesy of Tommy O'Connor, who went 1-for-3 with one home run and three RBI.

Carroll always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .538. They are 5-1 when they post an OBP of .513 or better.

The victory made it two in a row for Carroll and bumps their season record up to 9-6. The wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered a grand total of 6 runs in those games. As for Norwell, their defeat dropped their record down to 9-6.

Both squads will have to hit the road in their upcoming games. Carroll will venture away from home to square off against Fort Wayne Snider at 10:00 a.m. on Saturday. The Panthers will roll in looking for their sixth straight victory, something the Chargers surely won't give up without a fight. As for Norwell, they will challenge Delta at 6:00 p.m. on Monday. The Eagles' pitching crew has only allowed 3.1 runs per game this season, so the Knights' hitters will have their work cut out for them.
