Harrison had to skate by with only a two-run margin when they last took the field, which might have inspired the six-run drubbing they dealt Lafayette Jefferson on Tuesday. The Raiders put the hurt on the Bronchos with a sharp 8-2 victory. The result was nothing new for the Raiders, who have now won seven matches by six runs or more so far this season.

Lyrik Neal spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered just two earned runs on four hits and racked up seven Ks. Those seven strikeouts set a new season-high mark for him.

At the plate, Harrison saw three different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Ben Slate, who went 3-for-4 with three RBI and one double. Those three hits gave Slate a new career-high. Another was Nathan Prough, who got on base in two of his four plate appearances with two runs and one RBI.

Harrison pushed their record up to 10-1 with the win, which was their sixth straight on the road dating back to last season. The road victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 10.3 runs over those games. As for Lafayette Jefferson, their loss dropped their record down to 11-6.

Harrison will have a chance to go back-to-back against the Bronchos: the pair's next game is a rematch scheduled at 6:00 p.m. on Wednesday.
