There's no place like home for Lowell, who bounced back after a loss on the road last Saturday. They never let the Washington Eagles get on the board and left with a 10-0 win on Wednesday. Considering the Cardinals have won six matches by more than five runs this season, Wednesday's blowout was nothing new.

Angelo Ornelas-Rafael made a splash no matter where he played. On the mound, he didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only one hit while striking out six over five innings pitched. He has been nothing but reliable: he hasn't given up a single earned run in four consecutive appearances. He was also big at the plate, scoring two runs and stealing two bases while going 2-for-3. That's the most stolen bases he has posted over his last 12 contests.

In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Jhomar Ronquillo, who scored two runs and stole two bases while going 1-for-3. That's the most stolen bases he has posted over his last ten games. Emerson Sakai was another key player, scoring a run while going 3-for-3.

Lowell pushed their record up to 11-6 with the victory, which was their fifth straight at home. Those home wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.8 runs on average over those games. As for Washington, they have traveled a rocky road recently, having lost six of their last seven matches. That's put a noticeable dent in their 6-12 record this season.

Lowell will have a chance to go back-to-back against Washington: the pair's next game is a rematch scheduled at 3:30 p.m. on Thursday.
