It was a proper cat-fight when Akron challenged Newfane on Wednesday. The Tigers blew past the Panthers 14-2. The result was nothing new for the Tigers, who have now won six matches by seven runs or more so far this season.

Akron let Jackson Schlabach and Collin Miller run wild. Schlabach got on base in all four of his plate appearances with four RBI and two runs, while Miller got on base in all four of his plate appearances with three runs, one stolen base, and one RBI. Miller is becoming a predictor of Akron's success: when he posts at least two runs the team is 6-1 (and 2-5 when he doesn't). Ryan Owen was another key player, going 2-for-5 with two runs and two RBI.

The victory was the third in a row for Akron, bringing their record up to 8-6. Those wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 3.0 runs on average over those games. As for Newfane, they are on a six-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 2-10.

Coming up, Akron will head out to challenge Albion at 4:45 p.m. on Friday. The Purple Eagles have struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed 7.8 runs per game on average), something the Tigers will no doubt try to take advantage of.
