There's no place like home for T.L. Hanna, who bounced back after a loss on the road on Thursday. Everything went their way against the Pendleton Bulldogs on Monday as they made off with a 9-2 victory. Considering the Yellow Jackets have won seven matchups by more than six runs this season, Monday's blowout was nothing new.

Emma Williams 2027 made a big impact while hitting and pitching. She didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only two hits while striking out seven over four innings pitched. She has been nothing but reliable on the mound: she hasn't given up more than two walks in six consecutive appearances. She was also big at the plate, going 2-for-3 with three RBI, one triple, and one double. That triple marked the first that she has hit this season.

In other batting news, Kendall Coakley 2029 was a standout: she went 2-for-3 with two RBI, one run, and one double. Another player making a difference was Izzy Webb 2028, who went 2-for-3 with two stolen bases and one run.

T.L. Hanna was getting hits left and right and finished the game having posted a batting average of .448. That was just more of the same: they've now posted a batting average of .300 or higher in five consecutive games.

T.L. Hanna is on a roll lately: they've won ten of their last 11 contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 16-3 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 9.9 runs over those games. As for Pendleton, they are on a six-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 3-9.

Both squads will have to hit the road in their upcoming games. T.L. Hanna will face off against Woodmont at 6:00 p.m. on Tuesday. The two teams have allowed few runs on average (the Yellow Jackets 3.4, the Wildcats 2.6) so any runs scored will be well earned. As for Pendleton, they will head out to take on Belton-Honea Path at 6:00 p.m. on Tuesday. The Bears' pitching crew has only allowed 3.6 runs per game this season, so the Bulldogs' hitters will have their work cut out for them.
