Center Moriches barely beat Southampton the last time the pair played, but that sure wasn't the case this time around. The Red Devils put the hurt on the Mariners with a sharp 15-1 victory on Friday. The result was nothing new for the Red Devils, who have now won six matchups by seven runs or more so far this season.
Jack Passaro spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered a run (which was unearned) on four hits and racked up nine Ks.
At the plate, Christian Meadows was a standout: he went 3-for-4 with three RBI, one stolen base, and one run. Those three hits gave him a new career-high. Another player making a difference was Max Rayburn, who went 2-for-5 with one stolen base, two RBI, and one run.
They weren't the only ones making solid contact: Center Moriches kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 12 hits. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Southampton only managed four hits.
