Haskell had to skate by with only a one-run margin when they last took the field, which might have inspired the 13-run drubbing they dealt Porter on Monday. The Haymakers blew past the Pirates 18-5. The result was nothing new for the Haymakers, who have now won 12 matchups by seven runs or more so far this season.

Baxter Neal and Brody Grider did most of the damage at the plate: Neal went 2-for-4 with four RBI, two runs, and one double, while Grider got on base in four of his five plate appearances with one home run, two runs, and two RBI. Those four RBI gave Neal a new career-high. Jagger Lewis also deserves some recognition as he launched his first home run of the season.

Haskell always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .610. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Porter only posted an OBP of .435.

Haskell pushed their record up to 14-2 with the victory, which was their eighth straight on the road. Those road wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 12.1 runs over those games. As for Porter, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 19-10.

Looking ahead, Porter will face off against Edison at 4:30 p.m. on Tuesday. Haskell will be paying especially close attention to the Pirates' game: after the Pirates face off against the Eagles, they'll take on Haskell again at 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday.
