While Kimball put up plenty of runs on Tuesday, the same can't be said for Wilmer-Hutchins. The Knights put the hurt on the Eagles with a sharp 11-0 victory. The Knights might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won eight contests by seven runs or more this season.

William Carrigan made a big impact no matter where he played. He looked comfortable on the mound, pitching one inning while giving up no earned runs or hits. Carrigan was also stellar in the batter's box, going a perfect 2-for-2 with three runs, one double, and one RBI. He is becoming a predictor of Kimball's success: when he posts at least two runs the team is undefeated (and 9-10 when he doesn't).

In other batting news, Aaron Lopez was excellent, getting on base in all three of his plate appearances with three runs and one stolen base. Joel Renteria was another key player, getting on base in all three of his plate appearances with two stolen bases and one RBI.

Kimball pushed their record up to 15-10 with the win, which was their ninth straight at home. The home victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.2 runs on average over those games. As for Wilmer-Hutchins, they are on a 14-game losing streak (dating back to last season) that has dropped them down to 0-10.

Kimball will have a chance to go back-to-back against the Eagles: the pair's next game is a rematch scheduled at 4:30 p.m. on Friday.
