Providence had already won two in a row (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 8 runs) and they went ahead and made it three on Monday. Everything went their way against the Madison Cubs as they made off with a 9-2 win. The Pioneers might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won four matches by seven runs or more this season.

Gavin Jackson made a splash while hitting and pitching. On the mound, he struck out nine batters over seven innings while giving up just two earned runs off three hits (and only one walk). Jackson was also stellar in the batter's box, getting on base in three of his four plate appearances with one home run and two runs.

In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Cole Huett, who went 2-for-4 with one home run and two RBI. That home run was his first of the season. Another player making a difference was Kalen Sipes, who went 1-for-2 with one home run and three RBI.

Providence lost a few balls and finished the game with three home runs. That's the most home runs they've managed all season.

Providence's victory was their fourth straight at home, which pushed their record up to 6-2. Those home wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.5 runs on average over those games. As for Madison, their defeat ended a six-game streak of away wins dating back to last season and brought them to 9-2.

Coincidentally, Providence and Madison will both be playing Charlestown the next time they take the field. The Cubs will head out to face the Pirates at 6:00 p.m. on Tuesday, while the Pioneers will host them at 6:00 p.m. on Friday.
