Langley had to skate by with only a one-run margin when they last took the field, which might have inspired the 13-run drubbing they dealt Herndon on Friday. The Saxons' pitcher stepped up to hand the Hornets a 13-0 shutout. The Saxons might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won six matchups by six runs or more this season.
