After losing to Cornerstone Charter the last time they met, Bethany Community decided to demonstrate that turnabout is fair play. The Wolves were the clear victors by a 13-1 margin over the Cardinals on Tuesday. Considering the Wolves have won ten matchups by more than six runs this season, Tuesday's blowout was nothing new.

Ryan Rudd was a major factor while hitting and pitching. On the mound, he pitched two innings while giving up no earned runs off one hit. He has been nothing but reliable: he hasn't given up more than one earned run in six consecutive appearances. He was also big at the plate, getting on base in three of his four plate appearances with three runs, one stolen base, and two RBI.

In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Brooks McDowell, who went 4-for-5 with seven RBI, one triple, and one stolen base. Those four hits gave him a new career-high. Another player making a difference was Jesse Tucker, who got on base in all four of his plate appearances with three runs, one stolen base, and one RBI.

Bethany Community has been performing incredibly well recently as they've won 11 of their last 12 contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 15-3 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 3.3 runs on average over those games. As for Cornerstone Charter, they moved to 11-8 with that loss, which also ended their five-game winning streak.

Cornerstone Charter has already played their next game, a 15-1 defeat against Northwood on the 23rd. Hopefully Bethany Community paid attention to the Cardinals' matchup: the next time they hit the field, they'll take on the Cardinals at 4:30 p.m. on Friday.
