The Ironmen were the clear victors by a 13-2 margin over the Yellow Jackets. Considering the Ironmen have won eight matchups by more than six runs this season, Tuesday's blowout was nothing new.

Parker Anderson made a splash no matter where he played. He looked comfortable on the mound, striking out seven batters over three innings while giving up no earned runs off two hits (and only one walk). He has been nothing but reliable: he hasn't given up more than two walks in seven consecutive appearances. He was also big at the plate, scoring three runs while going 2-for-3. The dominant performance also gave him a new career-high in doubles (two).

Back at the plate, the team relied heavily on Brock Bumgardner, who scored a run and stole a base while going 2-for-2. Jayden Adams was another key player, scoring two runs while going 2-for-3.

Cherryville was getting hits left and right and finished the game having posted a batting average of .414. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Bessemer City only posted a batting average of .176.

Cherryville's victory was their fourth straight on the road, which pushed their record up to 13-5. The road wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.3 runs on average over those games. As for Bessemer City, they have been struggling recently as they've lost seven of their last eight contests. That's put a noticeable dent in their 5-13 record this season.
