Gray's Creek won the last time they faced Jack Britt and things went their way on Tuesday too. The Bears' pitchers stepped up to hand the Buccaneers a 13-0 shutout. The Bears might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won eight matches by seven runs or more this season.

Mason Barnes made a big impact no matter where he played. He didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only two hits over four innings pitched. He has been nothing but reliable on the mound: he hasn't given up more than two walks in nine consecutive appearances. He was also solid in the batter's box, getting on base in three of his five plate appearances with one run and one RBI.

In other batting news, Davis Reed was incredible, getting on base in four of his five plate appearances with three RBI, one run, and one double. That's the most RBI he has posted since back in April of 2024. Another player making a difference was Tyler Jasinski, who went a perfect 2-for-2 with two runs and two RBI.

Gray's Creek always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .561. They are a perfect 7-0 when they post an OBP of .513 or better.

Gray's Creek has been performing well recently as they've won seven of their last nine contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 13-8 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 3.7 runs on average over those games. As for Jack Britt, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 12-9.

We've got plenty of inter-conference action coming up soon. Gray's Creek is set to challenge their familiar foe Cape Fear at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Meanwhile, Jack Britt will square off against rival South View at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
