Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Harbor Creek). They never let the Erie Royals get on the board and left with a 12-0 win on Saturday. Considering the Huskies have won five contests by more than five runs this season, Saturday’s blowout was nothing new.

CONNOR FORTIN made a big impact no matter where he played. He looked comfortable on the mound, not allowing a single earned run and allowing only one hit over five innings pitched. The dominant performance also gave him a new career-high in strikeouts (five). He was also big at the plate, going 2-for-3 with one home run and three RBI. He is becoming a predictor of Harbor Creek’s success: when he posts at least three RBI the team is undefeated (and 5-7 when he doesn’t).

In other batting news, Harbor Creek let JASON DOLAK and LUCAS HANSON run wild. DOLAK went 2-for-3 with two runs, one stolen base, and two RBI, while HANSON went 1-for-4 with two stolen bases, three runs, and one RBI. That’s the most stolen bases HANSON has posted since back in May of 2025. The team also got some help courtesy of LUKE RUPRECHT, who went 1-for-3 with one run, one double, and one RBI.

Harbor Creek was getting hits left and right and finished the game having posted a batting average of .429. They are a perfect 4-0 when they post a batting average of .375 or better.

The victory made it two in a row for Harbor Creek and bumps their season record up to 8-7. Those wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered a grand total of 0 runs in those games. As for Erie, they are on a five-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 2-13.
