Manteo won the last time they faced Northeastern and things went their way on Tuesday too. The Redskins put the hurt on the Eagles with a sharp 15-2 victory. Considering the Redskins have won nine matches by more than six runs this season, Tuesday's blowout was nothing new.

Drew Brown was a major factor no matter where he played. He pitched two innings while giving up no earned runs off one hit. He has been nothing but reliable on the mound: he hasn't given up more than one earned run in ten consecutive appearances. He was also big at the plate, scoring two runs and stealing two bases while going 2-for-4. That's the most stolen bases he has posted since back in March.

In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Austin Godfrey, who scored two runs while going 2-for-3. The dominant performance also gave him a new career-high in RBI (three). Another player making a difference was Jack Woodson, who scored two runs and stole a base while getting on base in all three of his plate appearances.

Manteo always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .629. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Northeastern only posted an OBP of .077.

The win made it two in a row for Manteo and bumps their season record up to 13-4. Those victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 13.0 runs over those games. As for Northeastern, they are on a four-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 2-10.
