Homer came tearing into Tuesday's game with three straight wins (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 5 runs), and they left with even more momentum. They blew past the Pleasant Hill Eagles 7-1. The result was nothing new for the Pelicans, who have now won nine matchups by six runs or more so far this season.

Pleasant Hill's batters probably weren't too happy with Clay Isgitt, who pitched a no hitter (he gave up five walks). Isgitt also tossed no earned runs, which is notable because Homer is 8-2 when he allows at most two earned runs, but 4-5 otherwise.

At the plate, the team relied heavily on Paxton Prince, who scored two runs and stole a base while going 1-for-1. He has become a key player for Homer: the team is undefeated when he posts at least two runs, but 3-7 otherwise.

Homer's win was their ninth straight at home, which pushed their record up to 12-7. Those home victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 14.7 runs over those games. As for Pleasant Hill, they are on a 21-game losing streak (dating back to last season) that has dropped them down to 0-7.

Both squads are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. Homer will host Summerfield at 5:30 p.m. on Wednesday. As for Pleasant Hill, they will welcome Ebarb at 5:00 p.m. on Thursday.
