Fort Dorchester won the last time they faced Stall and things went their way on Monday too. The Patriots were the clear victors by an 11-1 margin over the Warriors. Considering the Patriots have won seven matches by more than five runs this season, Monday's blowout was nothing new.

AJ Watts made a splash no matter where he played. He struck out seven batters over four innings while giving up just one earned run off one hit. He has been consistent recently: he hasn't given up more than one hit in three consecutive appearances. He was also big at the plate, going 1-for-3 with two runs and two RBI. Those two RBI gave him a new career-high.

In other pitching news, Conner Baumgardner looked comfortable as he pitched one inning while giving up no earned runs or hits.

Back at the plate, Fort Dorchester let RJ Hamilton and Banks Wickersham run wild. Hamilton went a perfect 3-for-3 with one home run, three RBI, and one double, while Wickersham went 2-for-3 with two stolen bases, three RBI, and two runs. That's the most hits Hamilton has posted since back in March. Another player making a difference was Cade Ridgway, who went 1-for-2 with two runs.

Fort Dorchester always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .531. That's the best OBP they've posted all season.

Fort Dorchester pushed their record up to 15-6 with the win, which was their third straight on the road. Those road victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.0 runs on average over those games. As for Stall, they are on an 11-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 2-11.

Fort Dorchester will have a chance to go back-to-back against the Warriors: the pair's next game is a rematch scheduled at 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday.
