Lincoln Charter had to skate by with only a two-run margin when they last took the field, which might have inspired the nine-run drubbing they dealt East Gaston on Wednesday. The Eagles blew past the Warriors 18-9. The result was nothing new for the Eagles, who have now won 12 matches by six runs or more so far this season.

Trevor Hughes made a big impact while hitting and pitching. He looked comfortable on the mound, tossing four innings while giving up just one earned run off five hits. Hughes was also big at the plate, scoring a run while getting on base in three of his five plate appearances.

In other batting news, Lincoln Charter let Christian Cherry and Nate Rollins run wild. Cherry scored four runs and stole three bases while going 3-for-4, while Rollins scored four runs and stole two bases while going 3-for-6. Those three hits gave Cherry a new career-high. The team also got some help courtesy of Danny Okoniewski, who scored a run while getting on base in all six of his plate appearances.

Lincoln Charter kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 14 hits. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now got at least eight hits in six consecutive contests.

Lincoln Charter has been performing incredibly well recently as they've won 11 of their last 12 games. That's provided a nice bump to their 16-2 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 13.3 runs over those games. As for East Gaston, they are on a three-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 8-8.

Both squads are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. Lincoln Charter will square off against Community School of Davidson at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday. As for East Gaston, they will take on Thomas Jefferson Classical Academy at 5:30 p.m. on Thursday. The Gryphons have struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed 15.58 runs per game on average), something the Warriors will no doubt try to take advantage of.
