Martin County had already won three in a row (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 3.3 runs) and they went ahead and made it four on Friday. They put the hurt on the Northeastern Eagles with a sharp 10-1 victory. Considering the Gators have won ten games by more than five runs this season, Friday's blowout was nothing new.

Easton Warren spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered only one earned run on four hits and racked up 15 Ks. He has been consistent for a while: he hasn't given up more than two walks in 12 consecutive appearances.

On the hitting side, Landon Lane was incredible, going 2-for-3 with two stolen bases, three RBI, and one run. That's the most hits he has posted since back in March. Another player making a difference was Colin Lewis, who went 1-for-2 with two runs and one stolen base.

They weren't the only ones making solid contact: Martin County kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 12 hits. The team's really been improving in that area: they've now improved their hit total in three consecutive contests.

Martin County's win bumped their record up to 16-5. As for Northeastern, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 4-10.

Both teams will have to hit the road in their upcoming matchups. Martin County will square off against Pamlico County at 6:00 p.m. on Monday. The Hurricanes will aim to continue their four-game streak of scoring more runs each game than the last. As for Northeastern, they will face off against Pasquotank County at 6:00 p.m. on Monday. The Panthers have struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed 9.88 runs per game on average), something the Eagles will no doubt try to take advantage of.
