Two teams were on the hunt for playoff glory, but only Kendrick walked away with it. Everything went their way against the Genesee Bulldogs on Saturday as they made off with a 15-3 victory. Considering the Tigers have won 15 contests by more than six runs this season, Saturday's blowout was nothing new.

Morgan Boyer made a big impact while hitting and pitching. On the mound, he pitched three innings while giving up no earned runs off one hit. He has been nothing but reliable: he hasn't given up more than two hits in eight consecutive appearances. He was also stellar in the batter's box, going a perfect 3-for-3 with three stolen bases, five RBI, and two runs. That's the most stolen bases he has posted since back in March.

In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Gunnar Holland, who got on base in all three of his plate appearances with five stolen bases and two runs. Those five stolen bases gave him a new career-high. Another player making a difference was Nate Kimberling, who got on base in two of his four plate appearances with two runs and one RBI.

Kendrick always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .559. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Genesee only posted an OBP of .273.

The win made it two in a row for Kendrick and bumps their season record up to 18-5. The victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered a grand total of 7 runs in those games. As for Genesee, they are on a five-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 7-14-1.

Kendrick will have a chance to go back-to-back against the Bulldogs: the pair will be back at it again later today.
