Forbush had to skate by with only a one-run margin when they last took the field, which might have inspired the six-run drubbing they dealt East Surry on Tuesday. The Falcons were the clear victors by a 6-0 margin over the Cardinals. Considering the Falcons have won ten matches by more than five runs this season, Tuesday's blowout was nothing new.

Joesph Barnes looked comfortable as he pitched one inning while giving up no earned runs or hits. He has been nothing but reliable on the mound: he hasn't given up more than two walks in three consecutive appearances.

On the hitting side, the team relied heavily on Colton Moxley, who got on base in three of his four plate appearances with two runs, one triple, and one stolen base. He has become a key player for Forbush: the team is 11-2 when he posts at least two runs, but 5-7 otherwise. Another player making a difference was Reese Haynes, who went 1-for-2 with one stolen base, one run, and one RBI.

The win was the fourth in a row for Forbush, bringing their record up to 16-9. As for East Surry, they have traveled a rocky road recently, having lost four of their last five contests. That's put a noticeable dent in their 12-11 record this season.

We've got plenty of inter-conference action coming up soon. Forbush is set to challenge their familiar foe North Surry at 6:15 p.m. on Thursday. Meanwhile, East Surry will take on rival West Wilkes at 4:00 p.m. on Thursday.
