After losing to Addison the last time they met, Manchester decided to demonstrate that turnabout is fair play. The Flying Dutchmen put the hurt on the Panthers with a sharp 14-2 victory on Monday. The matchup marked the Flying Dutchmen's most dominant win of the season so far.
Trent Line spent all six innings played on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered just two earned runs on six hits.
At the plate, Ben Pauly and Neil Gebhardt did most of the damage at the plate: Pauly went 2-for-3 with three runs, one double, and one RBI, while Gebhardt went 2-for-3 with three runs, one stolen base, and one double. Gebhardt is becoming a predictor of Manchester's success: when he posts at least two runs the team is undefeated (and 1-2 when he doesn't). Carter Steinman also deserves some recognition as he got his first hit of the season.
