(NORTH CANTON, Ohio) – A day after recording the most runs, hits and RBI in a single game for the season, Walsh did it again with a 22-10 victory over Ashland in the final home game of the season.

With the score still tight at 12-10, McPeek drove a pitch over the left field wall to break the game open with a grand slam. Two batters later, Andrew Stalnaker, who had five RBI of his own, sailed one to right center for a two-run shot and put the Cavs up 18-10.

Aidan Mlachak, who entered in relief at the start of the third inning, was able to shut down for the majority of the middle five innings. Aside from a three-run home run in the fourth by the Eagles that tied the game at 10-all, Mlachak shut down and shut out Ashland to pick up the win and improve to 2-1.

The fireworks weren't over as the Cavaliers followed up with four more runs in the eighth highlighted by Luke Caple's homer to left field. Austin Szink also went yard with a three-run bomb in the first to tie the game. The Cavs' four home runs tied a season best for a single game.

The opening game went to the Eagles by a score of 11-2. Ashland jumped out to a 4-0 lead after two before Walsh scored its first run in the third. The Eagles kept momentum on their side with seven runs over the fifth and sixth innings.
