Riverview had already won two in a row (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 6 runs) and they went ahead and made it three on Wednesday. They were the clear victor by a 10-0 margin over the Brandon Eagles. The Sharks might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won eight matchups by six runs or more this season.

Riverview got a great performance from Parker Amato as he didn't allow a single earned run over five innings pitched. Amato has been consistent : he hasn't given up more than one earned run in seven consecutive appearances.

At the plate, Kaden Hess was a standout: he went 1-for-2 with one home run and three RBI. He is becoming a predictor of Riverview's success: when he posts at least three RBI the team is undefeated (and 6-8 when he doesn't). The team also got some help courtesy of Justin Edwards, who scored three runs and stole a base while getting on base in all three of his plate appearances.

Riverview always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .552. They are a perfect 6-0 when they post an OBP of .513 or better.

Riverview now has a winning record of 9-8. As for Brandon, they have traveled a rocky road recently, having lost nine of their last 12 games. That's put a noticeable dent in their 6-10 record this season.
