Scotland waltzed into their game on Wednesday with eight straight wins... but they left with nine. They walked away with a 4-0 victory over the South View Tigers. The Fighting Scots' pitching crew has been rock solid lately; the team hasn't given up a run in their last four contests.

Not much got past Avery Stutts, who gave up just a hit and racked up 13 Ks to keep South View off the board. Stutts has been consistent for a while: she hasn't given up more than one earned run any time she's pitched this season.

At the plate, Addison Johnson was incredible, scoring two runs and stealing five bases while getting on base in three of her four plate appearances. Those five stolen bases gave her a new career-high. Addison Lewis also deserves some recognition as she hit her first double of the season.

Scotland pushed their record up to 10-1 with the win, which was their fourth straight on the road. Those victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 0.0 runs on average over those games. As for South View, their defeat ended a six-game streak of wins at home dating back to last season and dropped them to 9-3.

Both teams will have to hit the road in their upcoming games. Scotland will square off against Hoke County at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Hoke County's pitching crew has only allowed 3.2 runs per game this season, so Scotland's hitters will have their work cut out for them. As for South View, they will take on Seventy-First at 6:00 p.m. on Friday. Seventy-First has struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed 15.5 runs per game on average), something South View will no doubt try to take advantage of.
