The result came thanks to Kinley Poe's shutout, as she gave up just a hit. She has been nothing but reliable on the mound: she hasn't given up more than two walks in six consecutive appearances.

On the hitting side, Corey Goguts was excellent, going 1-for-3 with one home run.

Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Moody). They put the hurt on Ramsay with a sharp 20-3 win on Monday. Considering the Blue Devils have won 17 games by more than six runs this season, Monday's blowout was nothing new.

Abi Gray was a standout: she scored three runs while going 3-for-3. That's the most runs she has posted since back in April of 2024. The team also got some help courtesy of Taylor Rogers, who scored three runs and stole a base while going 2-for-3.

Moody always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .676. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Ramsay only posted an OBP of .353.

Moody is on a roll lately: they've won 12 of their last 13 contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 26-7 record this season. The victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 10.5 runs over those games. As for Hewitt-Trussville, their win bumped their record up to 24-11.

Wednesday's match will be a test for both teams' pitchers. Hewitt-Trussville hasn't had any issues making contact this season, having earned a batting average of .362. However, it's not like Moody struggles in that department as they've averaged .382. With both teams so capable at the plate, fans should be ready for an impressive hitting performance.

Hewitt-Trussville beat Moody 13-9 in their previous meeting back in March. Will the Huskies repeat their success, or do the Blue Devils have a new game plan this time around? We'll find out soon enough.
