While South Beloit put up some runs on Thursday, the same can't be said for Hiawatha. The Sobos were the clear victors by a 6-0 margin over the Hawks. The result was nothing new for the Sobos, who have now won 11 games by six runs or more so far this season.

Richard Carlson made a big impact while hitting and pitching. He looked comfortable on the mound, not allowing a single earned run while striking out ten over six innings pitched. He has been nothing but reliable: he hasn't given up more than two walks in nine consecutive appearances. He was also big at the plate, getting on base in all four of his plate appearances with one home run and two RBI.

Carlson wasn't the only one making solid contact as five players wound up with at least one hit. One of them was Cesar Alfaro, who went 1-for-4 with one stolen base, one run, and one double.

South Beloit pushed their record up to 17-7 with the win, which was their fourth straight at home. Those home victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.8 runs on average over those games. As for Hiawatha, they have traveled a rocky road recently, having lost seven of their last nine matchups. That's put a noticeable dent in their 8-14 record this season.

South Beloit will host Clinton at 4:30 p.m. on Friday. As for Hiawatha, they will face off against Amboy at 4:30 p.m. on Monday.
