Castle had already won two in a row (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 7.5 runs), and they went ahead and made it three on Wednesday. They were the clear victor by a 16-4 margin over the Southridge Raiders. The result was nothing new for Castle, who have now won three matches by 12 runs or more so far this season.
Isaac Mitsdarffer was a major factor while hitting and pitching. He looked comfortable on the mound, pitching four innings while giving up three earned (and one unearned) runs off three hits. Mitsdarffer was also stellar in the batter's box, scoring three runs while getting on base in all three of his plate appearances.
In other batting news, Noah Drake was a standout: he scored three runs while going 2-for-3. Marcus Scales was another key contributor, going 2-for-2 with three RBI, a triple, and a run.
Castle pushed their record up to 4-1 with that win, which was their seventh straight at home dating back to last season.
Both squads are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. Castle will stay at home for another game and welcome Evansville North at 4:30 p.m. on Tuesday. Southridge will take on South Spencer at 5:00 p.m. on Tuesday.
