Neshannock barely beat Shenango the last time the pair played, but that sure wasn't the case this time around. The Lancers put the hurt on the Wildcats with a sharp 11-0 victory on Tuesday. Considering the Lancers have won six matchups by more than five runs this season, Tuesday's blowout was nothing new.

Jake Rynd made a big impact while hitting and pitching. He didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only one hit while striking out eight over five innings pitched. He has been nothing but reliable on the mound: he hasn't given up more than one earned run in three consecutive appearances. He was also solid in the batter's box, going 2-for-4 with one run, one double, and one RBI.

In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Ryan Cameron, who went a perfect 3-for-3 with three runs, three RBI, and two doubles. Matt Pallerino also deserves some recognition as he snagged his first stolen base of the season.

Neshannock always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .562. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Shenango only posted an OBP of .111.

Neshannock pushed their record up to 9-3 with the win, which was their third straight on the road. Those road victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 14.3 runs over those games.
