Grenada had to skate by with only a two-run margin when they last took the field, which might have inspired the ten-run drubbing they dealt Starkville on Friday. The Chargers' pitcher stepped up to hand the Yellowjackets a 10-0 shutout. Considering the Chargers have won eight matchups by more than five runs this season, Friday's blowout was nothing new.

The team relied heavily on Lillian Mattox, who scored a run while going 1-for-3. Saniya Boyd was another key player, scoring a run while getting on base in all three of her plate appearances.

Grenada's victory was their sixth straight at home, which pushed their record up to 12-7. The home wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 0.3 runs on average over those games. As for Starkville, they have traveled a rocky road recently, having lost six of their last eight contests. That's put a noticeable dent in their 7-13 record this season.

Both teams are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. Grenada will welcome Olive Branch at 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday. As for Starkville, they will challenge Houston at 6:30 p.m. on Monday. The Hilltoppers have struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed 7.23 runs per game on average), something the Yellowjackets will no doubt try to take advantage of.
