Troy came tearing into Monday's contest with three straight wins (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 9 runs), and they left with even more momentum. They never let the Sayre Sabres get on the board and left with a 10-0 victory. Considering the Trojans have won ten games by more than five runs this season, Monday's blowout was nothing new.

Joseph Frye was a major factor no matter where he played. On the mound, he didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only one hit while striking out eight over six innings pitched. Those eight strikeouts gave him a new career-high. He was also big at the plate, getting on base in three of his four plate appearances with three stolen bases, two runs, and one RBI. He has been hot, having posted at least one stolen base the last five times he's played.

In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Reed Palmer, who went 1-for-3 with two stolen bases, two runs, and one triple. That triple was his first of the season. Another player making a difference was Lincoln Chimics, who went 1-for-3 with two stolen bases, two runs, and one double.

Troy pushed their record up to 13-5 with the win, which was their fourth straight at home. Those home victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 3.0 runs on average over those games. As for Sayre, they are on a 21-game losing streak (dating back to last season) that has dropped them down to 0-15.

Coming up, Troy will square off against Sullivan County at 4:30 p.m. on Tuesday. As for Sayre, they will face off against Towanda at 4:00 p.m. on Wednesday. The Sabres' pitchers better be ready for this one: the Black Knights have averaged an impressive 6.9 runs per game this season.
