Pendleton County came tearing into Thursday's matchup with ten straight wins (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 7.9 runs), and they left with even more momentum. They beat the Wahama White Falcons by the very same score they won with in their prior game: 9-1. The result was nothing new for the Wildcat, who have now won 25 contests by six runs or more so far this season.

Baylee Beachler made a big impact no matter where she played. On the mound, she didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only two hits while striking out seven over five innings pitched. She has been consistent for a while: she hasn't given up more than two hits in ten consecutive appearances. She was also big at the plate, going a perfect 2-for-2 with two runs, one stolen base, and one double.

In other batting news, Pendleton County let Avery Townsend and Lizzie Alt run wild. Townsend went 3-for-4 with two stolen bases, two RBI, and one run, while Alt went 2-for-3 with three RBI, two doubles, and one run. Townsend is on a roll when it comes to stolen bases, as she's now snagged at least one in each of the last 14 games she's played. Another player making a difference was Chesnee Colaw, who went 2-for-3 with two RBI and one run.

Pendleton County kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 12 hits. That's the most hits they've posted since back in April.

Pendleton County's win was their fourth straight at home, which pushed their record up to 32-2. Those home victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.3 runs on average over those games. As for Wahama, they have been struggling recently as they've lost four of their last five games. That's put a noticeable dent in their 29-10 record this season.

As of now, neither Pendleton County nor Wahama have any future games scheduled.
