Borden had already won two in a row and they went ahead and made it three on Wednesday. They never let the Austin Eagles get on the board and left with a 6-0 win. The Braves might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won seven matchups by six runs or more this season.

Garrett Schmidt was a major factor while hitting and pitching. He tossed one inning while giving up no earned runs or hits. He has been nothing but reliable on the mound: he hasn't given up more than two hits in four consecutive appearances. He was also solid in the batter's box, going 2-for-3 with one stolen base, one run, and one RBI.

In other pitching news, Wyatt Martel looked comfortable as he struck out seven batters over three innings while giving up no earned runs or hits.

Schmidt wasn't the only one making solid contact as seven players wound up with at least one hit. One of them was Michael McVoy, who got on base in all four of his plate appearances with one stolen base and one RBI. What's more, McVoy posted two hits, the most he's had since back in April.

Borden kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 12 hits. The team's really been improving in that area: they've now improved their hit total in three consecutive contests.

Borden pushed their record up to 10-6 with the victory, which was their third straight on the road. The road wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 3.7 runs on average over those games. As for Austin, they are on a four-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 4-11.

Both squads are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. Borden will face off against Lanesville at 5:00 p.m. on Friday. As for Austin, they will square off against North Harrison at 6:00 p.m. on Thursday.
