Maiden won against Newton-Conover two weeks ago with 16 runs and they decided to stick to that run total again on Monday. The Blue Devils never let the Lincolnton Wolves get on the board and left with a 16-0 win. The Blue Devils might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won six matchups by six runs or more this season.

Raegan Rembert was a major factor while hitting and pitching. She looked comfortable on the mound, striking out seven batters over three innings while giving up no earned runs or hits. She has been consistent: she hasn't given up more than two walks in five consecutive appearances. She was also solid in the batter's box, going 2-for-3 with two runs and one double.

In other batting news, Maddy Clontz and Olivia Wray did most of the damage at the plate: Clontz went a perfect 2-for-2 with three RBI, while Wray went 2-for-3 with two RBI and one run. That's the most RBI Clontz has posted since back in April of 2024. Another player making a difference was Ella Bryan, who got on base in two of her three plate appearances with two runs and one RBI.

Maiden always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .655. They are a perfect 5-0 when they post an OBP of .513 or better.

The victory was the fourth in a row for Maiden, bringing their record up to 11-8. Those wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 14.8 runs over those games. As for Lincolnton, they have been struggling recently as they've lost seven of their last eight contests. That's put a noticeable dent in their 6-16 record this season.

Maiden will look to defend their home field on Wednesday against West Lincoln at 4:00 p.m. The Rebels' pitching crew has only allowed four runs per game this season, so the Blue Devils' hitters will have their work cut out for them. As for Lincolnton, they will head out on the road to challenge East Burke at 6:00 p.m. on Tuesday. The Wolves are facing the Cavaliers at the right time seeing as the Cavaliers are stuck on a ten-game losing streak.
