Durham had to skate by with only a two-run margin when they last took the field, which might have inspired the 15-run drubbing they dealt Pierce on Friday. The Trojans were the clear victors by a 21-6 margin over the Bears. Considering the Trojans have won seven matches by more than five runs this season, Friday's blowout was nothing new.

Durham let Jack Drake and Brevan Ring run wild. Drake went 1-for-2 with two runs and one stolen base, while Ring went a perfect 1-for-1 with two runs and one double. Those two runs gave Ring a new career-high. Ely Martinez was another key player, earning two runs and two stolen bases.

The win (which was Durham's third in a row) raised their record to 16-7. Those victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 17.0 runs over those games. As for Pierce, they are on a 13-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 2-17.

Both squads are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. Durham will face off against East Nicolaus at 4:00 p.m. on Tuesday. The Trojans' pitchers better be ready for this one: the Spartans have averaged an impressive 6.2 runs per game this season. As for Pierce, they will take on Colusa at 4:00 p.m. on Tuesday. The RedHawks have struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed 8.45 runs per game on average), something the Bears will no doubt try to take advantage of.
