Ingraham barely beat Cleveland the last time the pair played, but that sure wasn't the case this time around. The Rams blew past the Eagles 15-1 on Wednesday. Considering the Rams have won seven games by more than six runs this season, Wednesday's blowout was nothing new.

Blake Stauff spent all five innings played on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered only one earned run on five hits and racked up nine Ks. He has been nothing but reliable: he hasn't given up more than two walks in nine consecutive appearances.

On the hitting side, Harry Hayes was incredible, getting on base in all four of his plate appearances with three stolen bases, two runs, and two RBI. He has been hot recently, having posted at least one stolen base the last three times he's played. Another player making a difference was Bryce Campbell, who went a perfect 2-for-2 with three RBI and two runs.

Ingraham was getting hits left and right and finished the game having posted a batting average of .393. The last time their batting average was this high was back in March.

The victory made it two in a row for Ingraham and bumps their season record up to 14-4. The wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 11.5 runs over those games. As for Cleveland, their loss was their third straight at home, which dropped their record down to 4-11.

Looking ahead, Ingraham will face off against Eastside Catholic at 6:30 p.m. on Friday. The two teams have allowed few runs on average (the Rams 2.2, the Crusaders 3.8) so any runs scored will be well earned. As for Cleveland, they will challenge Nathan Hale at 3:30 p.m. on Friday. The Raiders' pitching crew has only allowed 4.1 runs per game this season, so the Eagles' hitters will have their work cut out for them.
