Kennebunk won against Thornton Academy on Tuesday with 11 runs and they decided to stick to that run total again on Thursday. The Rams didn't even let the Scarborough Red Storm on the board, marking the Rams' second-straight 11-0 shutout. Considering the Rams have won nine games by more than five runs this season, Thursday's blowout was nothing new.

Juliann Pike was a major factor while hitting and pitching. She looked comfortable on the mound, keeping things locked down with no earned runs or hits while striking out 12 over five innings pitched. She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't given up more than two walks in ten consecutive appearances. She was also stellar in the batter's box, getting on base in all four of her plate appearances with three runs, one stolen base, and two RBI.

In other batting news, Mia McCarthy was incredible, going 3-for-4 with three RBI, one triple, and one run. Those three RBI gave her a new career-high. Another player making a difference was Talia Kellum, who went 2-for-4 with two runs.

Kennebunk was getting hits left and right and finished the game having posted a batting average of .571. That was just more of the same: they've now posted a batting average of .333 or higher in three consecutive contests.

Kennebunk is on a roll lately: they've won nine of their last ten matchups. That's provided a nice bump to their 12-3 record this season. The victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 10.2 runs over those games. As for Scarborough, they have been struggling recently as they've lost seven of their last nine games. That's put a noticeable dent in their 3-10 record this season.

We've got plenty of inter-region action coming up soon. Kennebunk will square off against rival Cheverus at 4:30 p.m. on Tuesday. The two teams have allowed few runs on average (the Rams 2.9, the Stags 1.2) so any runs scored will be well earned. Meanwhile, Scarborough is set to take on their familiar foe Deering at 10:00 a.m. on Saturday.
