Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Franklin County). Their pitcher stepped up to hand the Port Gibson Blue Waves a 23-0 shutout on Tuesday. Considering the Bulldogs have won nine contests by more than six runs this season, Tuesday's blowout was nothing new.

Joy Woodard made a big impact no matter where she played. She kept things locked down with no earned runs or hits over four innings pitched. Woodard was also solid in the batter's box, scoring two runs while getting on base in all five of her plate appearances. She also put up a double, which was her first of the season.

In other batting news, Greyonne Queen was incredible, scoring four runs and stealing a base while getting on base in four of her five plate appearances. Those four runs gave her a new career-high. Another player making a difference was Jhalayah Tillman, who scored three runs and stole two bases while going 1-for-4.

Franklin County is on a roll lately: they've won six of their last seven matchups. That's provided a massive bump to their 9-6-1 record this season. The victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 11.0 runs over those games. As for Port Gibson, they are on a nine-game losing streak (dating back to last season) that has dropped them down to 0-7.
