Baseball Recap: Avon Picks Up Eighth Straight Win at Home

Avon had to skate by with only a one-run margin when they last took the field, which might have inspired the 13-run drubbing they dealt Ben Davis on Saturday. The Orioles were the clear victors by a 13-0 margin over the Giants. The result was nothing new for the Orioles, who have now won five matchups by ten runs or more so far this season.

Isaac Kramer looked comfortable as he didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only one hit while striking out six over four innings pitched. He has been consistent: he hasn't given up more than two walks in six consecutive appearances.

On the hitting side, Jack Bland was incredible, going a perfect 3-for-3 with two stolen bases, four RBI, and one run. Those four RBI gave him a new career-high. Layne Harman also deserves some recognition as he got his first hit of the season.

Avon was getting hits left and right and finished the game having posted a batting average of .450. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Ben Davis only posted a batting average of .062.
