As for Regis, they are on a roll lately: they've won seven of their last eight matches. That's provided a massive bump to their 10-8 record this season. The victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.4 runs on average over those games.
For Regis' part, Owen Eaton was a major factor while hitting and pitching. He looked comfortable on the mound, striking out 11 batters over seven innings while giving up three earned runs off eight hits.
