Akron had already won four in a row (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 10.5 runs) and they went ahead and made it five on Saturday. They blew past the Salamanca Warriors 12-2. The Tigers might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won seven matchups by seven runs or more this season.

Hunter Haist made a big impact while hitting and pitching. On the mound, he pitched six innings while giving up just two earned runs off seven hits. Haist was also stellar in the batter's box, going 3-for-4 with three runs and one stolen base. Those three runs gave him a new career-high.

In other batting news, Anthony Consiglio was incredible, getting on base in four of his five plate appearances with three runs, three RBI, and one triple. That's the most runs he has posted since back in April. Another player making a difference was Collin Miller, who went 2-for-4 with three runs and one RBI.

Akron kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 13 hits. They are a perfect 5-0 when they post 11 or more hits.

Akron's victory was their third straight on the road, which pushed their record up to 10-6. Those road wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.0 runs on average over those games. As for Salamanca, they have traveled a rocky road recently, having lost seven of their last eight games. That's put a noticeable dent in their 6-8 record this season.

Akron will welcome Albion at 4:45 p.m. on Monday. As for Salamanca, they are taking a road trip to challenge Olean at 7:30 p.m. on Monday.
