Galileo never let their opponents score on Thursday. Everything went their way against the O'Connell Boilermakers as they made off with an 11-0 victory. The result was nothing new for the Lions, who have now won 11 matches by seven runs or more so far this season.

Zane Ridley was a major factor no matter where he played. He didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only one hit while striking out 13 over five innings pitched. Those 13 strikeouts gave him a new career-high. He was also solid in the batter's box, going 2-for-4 with one stolen base, two RBI, and one run.

In other batting news, Galileo let Elliott Hartman and Elijah Michael run wild. Hartman went a perfect 3-for-3 with six stolen bases, four runs, and three RBI, while Michael went 3-for-4 with two stolen bases, three runs, and three RBI. The dominant performance also gave Michael a new career-high in doubles (two). Another player making a difference was Everett Kerns, who went 1-for-2 with two runs and one stolen base.

Galileo pushed their record up to 13-3 with the win, which was their fifth straight on the road. Those road victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 12.4 runs over those games. As for O'Connell, they are on a nine-game losing streak (dating back to last season) that has dropped them down to 0-5.
