While Cleveland Central put up plenty of runs on Wednesday, the same can't be said for Greenville. The Wolves blew past the Hornets 17-0. The result was nothing new for the Wolves, who have now won 12 games by six runs or more so far this season.

Hailey Love made a splash no matter where she played. She tossed 2.2 innings while giving up no earned runs or hits. She has been nothing but reliable on the mound: she hasn't given up more than two walks in ten consecutive appearances. She was also big at the plate, scoring two runs and stealing two bases while going 1-for-4. That's the most stolen bases she has posted over her last six matchups.

In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Stella Rose Cartwright, who went 2-for-4 with four RBI, two runs, and one triple. That's the most RBI she has posted over her last seven contests. Another player making a difference was Haley Sterling, who scored three runs and stole two bases while going 1-for-3.

Cleveland Central always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .594. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Greenville only posted an OBP of .444.

Cleveland Central is on a roll lately: they've won six of their last seven games. That's provided a nice bump to their 16-5 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.1 runs on average over those games. As for Greenville, their loss ended a six-game streak of wins at home dating back to last season and dropped them to 5-3.

Looking ahead, Cleveland Central is taking a road trip to face off against Meridian at 6:30 p.m. on Thursday. The Wildcats have struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed 9.95 runs per game on average), something the Wolves will no doubt try to take advantage of. As for Greenville, they will square off against Canton at 5:30 p.m. on Thursday.
