Eustis put another one in the bag on Thursday to keep their perfect season alive. They never let the Leesburg Yellow Jackets get on the board and left with a 19-0 victory. The Panthers might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won three matchups by 12 runs or more this season.

Brooke Mansfield looked comfortable as she struck out eight batters over three innings while giving up no earned runs off two hits (and not a single walk). Furthermore, she didn't allow a single earned run, the first time she has blanked an opponent since back in April of 2024.

At the plate, Emmy Luke was a standout: she fired off two home runs, four runs, and four RBI while going 3-for-3. Adrianna Covino also deserves some recognition as she hit her first triple of the season.

Eustis always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .548. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Leesburg only posted an OBP of .182.

Eustis pushed their record up to 4-0 with the win, which was their third straight on the road. Those victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.0 runs over those games. As for Leesburg, their loss ended a six-game streak of wins at home dating back to last season and dropped them to 6-1.

Coming up, Eustis will host Mount Dora at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Eustis' pitching crew has only allowed 1.5 runs per game this season, so Mount Dora's hitters will have their work cut out for them. As for Leesburg, they will head out to face off against Pine Ridge at 4:00 p.m. on Monday.
