Vinemont waltzed into their game on Thursday with four straight wins... but they left with five. They blew past the Dora Bulldogs 11-1. Considering the Eagles have won 17 matches by more than six runs this season, Thursday's blowout was nothing new.

Carson Drummond spent all six innings played on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered only one earned run on three hits. He has been consistent for a while: he hasn't given up more than two walks any time he's pitched this season.

On the hitting side, Chad Reynolds was incredible, scoring three runs and stealing three bases while going 3-for-3. Those three hits gave him a new career-high. The team also got some help courtesy of Tucker Mauter, who scored two runs and stole two bases while getting on base in two of his three plate appearances.

Vinemont always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .538. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Dora only posted an OBP of .211.

Vinemont pushed their record up to 25-7 with the victory, which was their fourth straight at home. The home wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 4.0 runs on average over those games. As for Dora, their defeat ended an eight-game streak of away wins and brought them to 17-11.

Vinemont will have a chance to go back-to-back against the Bulldogs: the pair's next game is a rematch scheduled at 4:30 p.m. on Friday.
