Bethlehem put another one in the bag on Wednesday to keep their perfect season alive. They never let the South Central Rebels get on the board and left with a 10-0 victory. The Eagles/Banshees' pitching crew has been rock solid lately; the team hasn't given up a run in their last five matches.

Alexis Hume made a splash while hitting and pitching. She didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only one hit while striking out 12 over five innings pitched. Those 12 strikeouts gave her a new career-high. She was also stellar in the batter's box, scoring three runs and stealing a base while going 3-for-4. She is also on a roll when it comes to triples, as she's now hit at least one in each of the last three games she's played.

In other batting news, Paige Miller and Malorie Thiel did most of the damage at the plate: Miller scored two runs and stole two bases while getting on base in three of her four plate appearances, while Thiel scored three runs and stole a base while getting on base in three of her four plate appearances. Those two stolen bases gave Miller a new career-high. Gabby Luckett was another key player, scoring a run and stealing a base.

Bethlehem pushed their record up to 7-0 with the win, which was their fourth straight at home. The victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 14.0 runs over those games. As for South Central, their defeat dropped their record down to 1-1.

Both squads are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. Bethlehem will take on Bullitt East at 5:30 p.m. on Thursday. As for South Central, they will look to defend their home field on Thursday against Bullitt Central at 6:00 p.m. Bullitt Central has struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed 9.57 runs per game on average), something South Central will no doubt try to take advantage of.
