Howe can bid farewell to their nine-game losing streak thanks to their game on Tuesday. They never let the Leonard Tigers get on the board and left with a 10-0 win. Considering the Bulldogs have won eight matches by more than five runs this season, Tuesday's blowout was nothing new.

Anthony Lowder made a splash no matter where he played. He didn't allow a single earned run over six innings pitched. He also tossed no earned runs, which is notable because Howe is 2-1 when he allows at most one earned run, but 8-13 otherwise. Lowder was also big at the plate, scoring a run while getting on base in three of his four plate appearances.

In other batting news, Kendall O'Brien was incredible, getting on base in all four of his plate appearances with three RBI, two runs, and one triple. The dominant performance also gave him a new career-high in hits (two). Another player making a difference was Garren Lankford, who scored three runs and stole two bases while getting on base in three of his four plate appearances.

Howe always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .606. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Leonard only posted an OBP of .238.

Howe's victory was their first in the district, bumping their district record up to 1-8 and their overall record up to 10-14. As for Leonard, their record is now 9-9.

Howe will have a chance to go back-to-back against the Tigers: the pair's next game is a rematch scheduled at 4:30 p.m. on Thursday.
