For whatever reason, it's the away team that's had the advantage when Moscow and Lewiston meet (two straight games heading into this one) and that held true again on Thursday. The Bears blew past the Bengals 8-2. Considering the Bears have won five matchups by more than five runs this season, Thursday's blowout was nothing new.

Max Winfree looked comfortable as he tossed four innings while giving up just one earned (and one unearned) run off four hits. The dominant performance also gave him a new career-high in strikeouts (four).

At the plate, the team relied heavily on JP Breese, who scored three runs while going 2-for-3. He continues to improve, besting his previous point total in each of the last three games he's played. Gunnar Holloway also deserves some recognition as he hit his first double of the season.

Moscow kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 11 hits. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now got at least eight hits in five consecutive contests.

Moscow is on a roll lately: they've won four of their last five games. That's provided a massive bump to their 8-6 record this season. Those wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 9.0 runs over those games. As for Lewiston, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 8-9.

We've got plenty of inter-conference action coming up soon. Moscow will square off against rival Lakeland at 12:00 p.m. on Saturday. Meanwhile, Lewiston is set to face off against their familiar foe Sandpoint at 12:00 p.m. on Saturday.
