Oak Ridge had already won seven in a row (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 8 runs) and they went ahead and made it eight on Saturday. They never let the Delta Bobcats get on the board and left with a 19-0 win. The result was nothing new for the Blue Jays, who have now won six matchups by ten runs or more so far this season.

Kaelyn Deckerd made a splash no matter where she played. She looked comfortable on the mound, striking out nine batters over three innings while giving up no earned runs or hits (and only one walk). She has been consistent : she hasn't given up more than one earned run in seven consecutive appearances. She was also stellar in the batter's box, scoring four runs and stealing two bases while getting on base in all four of her plate appearances.

In other batting news, Oak Ridge got a massive performance out of Tristen Berry, who went a perfect 3-for-3 with four RBI, one stolen base, and one run. Those three hits gave Berry a new career-high. Another player making a difference was Addilyn Burnett, who scored three runs while getting on base in all four of her plate appearances.

Oak Ridge always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .765. That's the best OBP they've posted all season.

Oak Ridge's victory was their fourth straight at home, which pushed their record up to 10-1. Those home wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 12.5 runs over those games. As for Delta, their defeat dropped their record down to 1-4.

Both squads will have to hit the road in their upcoming games. Oak Ridge will head out to face off against Shawnee at 4:30 p.m. on Monday. The Redskins have struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed nine runs per game on average), something the Blue Jays will no doubt try to take advantage of. As for Delta, they will face off against Puxico at 4:30 p.m. on Monday.
