Centralia had to skate by with only a one-run margin when they last took the field, which might have inspired the seven-run drubbing they dealt Mattoon on Saturday. The Orphans never let the Greenwave get on the board and left with a 7-0 win. Considering the Orphans have won eight contests by more than five runs this season, Saturday's blowout was nothing new.
