Keystone Heights's game last Monday was a loss, but they didn't let that memory haunt them on Tuesday. They never let the Eagle's View Warriors get on the board and left with a 10-0 win. Considering the Indians have won ten matchups by more than seven runs this season, Tuesday's blowout was nothing new.

Guage Barry made a splash while hitting and pitching. He kept things locked down with no earned runs or hits while striking out seven over five innings pitched. He has been nothing but reliable on the mound: he hasn't given up more than two walks in three consecutive appearances. He was also big at the plate, going 2-for-3 with two RBI.

In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Aiden Screen, who went 2-for-3 with one home run, three RBI, and one double. That's the most RBI he has posted since back in April of 2024. Brock Screen was another key player, scoring three runs and stealing a base.

Keystone Heights always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .515. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Eagle's View only posted an OBP of .158.

Keystone Heights pushed their record up to 17-6 with the victory, which was their fourth straight at home. Those home wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.3 runs on average over those games. As for Eagle's View, they have been struggling recently as they've lost six of their last eight contests. That's put a noticeable dent in their 11-13 record this season.

Both teams will have to hit the road in their upcoming games. Keystone Heights will head out to challenge Clay at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday. As for Eagle's View, they will venture away from home to square off against St. Johns Country Day at 6:30 p.m. on Thursday. The Spartans' pitching crew has only allowed 3.8 runs per game this season, so the Warriors' hitters will have their work cut out for them.
