Montgomery won the last time they faced Muncy and things went their way on Saturday too. The Red Raiders blew past the Indians 13-1. The Red Raiders might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won eight matchups by seven runs or more this season.

Briar Persing made a splash while hitting and pitching. On the mound, he struck out seven batters over 3.2 innings while giving up just one earned run off three hits (and not a single walk). That's the most strikeouts he has posted since back in March. He was also big at the plate, getting on base in three of his four plate appearances with one run.

The win made it two in a row for Montgomery and bumps their season record up to 11-4. Those victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered a grand total of 2 run in those games. As for Muncy, they now have a losing record of 8-9.
