Wharton won the last time they faced Hillsborough and things went their way on Tuesday too. The Wildcats were the clear victors by an 11-1 margin over the Terriers. The Wildcats might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won nine matches by six runs or more this season.

Connor Evans looked comfortable as he pitched three innings while giving up no earned runs off two hits. He has been nothing but reliable on the mound: he hasn't given up more than one earned run in three consecutive appearances.

At the plate, Wharton let Justis Meadows and Drew Cobb run wild. Meadows went 3-for-4 with one home run, five RBI, and one double, while Cobb scored three runs and stole three bases while getting on base in all four of his plate appearances. Those three stolen bases gave Cobb a new career-high. Antonio Fawcett was another key player, scoring two runs while getting on base in three of his four plate appearances.

Wharton always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .613. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Hillsborough only posted an OBP of .364.

Wharton pushed their record up to 19-4 with the victory, which was their eighth straight at home. The home wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.8 runs on average over those games. As for Hillsborough, their loss dropped their record down to 6-16.

Coming up, Wharton will venture away from home to challenge Alonso at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday. The two teams have allowed few runs on average (the Wildcats 2.8, the Ravens 3.3) so any runs scored will be well earned. As for Hillsborough, they will challenge Leto at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday.
