St. Cloud barely beat Davenport the last time the pair played, but that sure wasn't the case this time around. St. Cloud never let Davenport get on the board and left with a 13-0 win on Thursday. The Bulldogs might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won nine matchups by nine runs or more this season.

Drew Kelley was a major factor no matter where he played. On the mound, he tossed one inning while giving up no earned runs or hits. Kelley was also solid in the batter's box, scoring two runs while getting on base in all four of his plate appearances.

In other batting news, Sean Gallagher was excellent, scoring two runs while getting on base in all five of his plate appearances. The dominant performance also gave him a new career-high in hits (three). Logan King was another key player, scoring two runs while getting on base in all four of his plate appearances.

St. Cloud always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .605. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Davenport only posted an OBP of .211.

St. Cloud has been performing incredibly well recently as they've won six of their last seven games. That's provided a nice bump to their 12-5 record this season. The victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.6 runs on average over those games. Davenport dropped their record down to 4-13 with the loss, which was their third straight at home.

Coming up, St. Cloud will be taking part in a tournament against Poinciana at 7:00 p.m. on Monday. As for Davenport, they are taking a road trip to square off against Foundation Academy at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday. Foundation Academy's pitching crew has only allowed 3.6 runs per game this season, so Davenport's hitters will have their work cut out for them.
