Ashley Barnes was incredible, going 2-for-4 with two runs, two RBI, and one double. The team also got some help courtesy of Katharine Jewell, who got on base in three of her four plate appearances with one run and one RBI.
Meanwhile, Ticonderoga strolled into their game on Monday with a perfect record and they left with the same. They walked away with a 10-5 victory over AuSable Valley. The ten-run effort marked the Sentinels' lowest-scoring contest of the season, but in the end it didn't matter.

The batters for both teams will have to hit smart on Thursday as both have some strikeout artists on the roster. Beekmantown has been retiring batters left and right this season, having averaged 9.6 strikeouts per game. However, it's not like Ticonderoga struggles in that department as they've been averaging 8.3 strikeouts.
