Pioneer had to skate by with only a one-run margin when they last took the field, which might have inspired the ten-run drubbing they dealt River City on Wednesday. The Patriots were the clear victors by a 10-0 margin over the Raiders. The result was nothing new for the Patriots, who have now won ten contests by six runs or more so far this season.

Jia Beebe was a major factor while hitting and pitching. On the mound, she kept things locked down with no earned runs or hits over five innings pitched. She has been consistent: she hasn't given up more than two walks in five consecutive appearances. She was also big at the plate, going a perfect 3-for-3 with two doubles and two RBI. Those two doubles gave her a new career-high.

In other batting news, Gracie McGinty was incredible, going a perfect 4-for-4 with four runs, one triple, and one stolen base. The dominant performance also gave her a new career-high in RBI (two). Another player making a difference was Marisa Bryson, who went a perfect 3-for-3 with two runs, one stolen base, and one RBI.

Pioneer was getting hits left and right and finished the game having posted a batting average of .615. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as River City only posted a batting average of .000.

Pioneer's victory was their ninth straight at home, which pushed their record up to 19-5. Those home wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 8.7 runs over those games. As for River City, they are on a three-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 5-19.

Looking ahead, Pioneer will host Vista del Lago at 4:15 p.m. on Wednesday. River City does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
