Riverton got themselves on the board against Cyprus on Monday, but Cyprus never followed suit. They put the hurt on the Pirates with a sharp 10-0 win. Considering the Silverwolves have won 13 matches by more than five runs this season, Monday's blowout was nothing new.

Peyton Sanchez made a big impact while hitting and pitching. On the mound, she didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only one hit over four innings pitched. Sanchez was also stellar in the batter's box, going 3-for-4 with one home run, two RBI, and one double.

In other pitching news, Lexi Huntley looked comfortable as she tossed one inning while giving up no earned runs or hits.

Back at the plate, Riverton let Maggie Hamblin and Taylor Jones run wild. Hamblin went 2-for-3 with one home run and two runs, while Jones went 1-for-3 with one home run and four RBI. Those four RBI gave Jones a new career-high. The team also got some help courtesy of Grace Leary, who went 1-for-3 with two runs and one double.

Riverton always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .529. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Cyprus only posted an OBP of .235.

The victory was the sixth in a row for Riverton, bringing their record up to 19-1. The wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.0 runs on average over those games. As for Cyprus, they are on a three-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 10-8.

Both teams will have to hit the road in their upcoming games. Riverton will head out to face off against Mountain Ridge at 3:30 p.m. on Tuesday. The two teams have allowed few runs on average (the Silverwolves 3.2, the Sentinels 2.9) so any runs scored will be well earned. As for Cyprus, they will venture away from home to take on Granger at 3:30 p.m. on Tuesday. The Lancers have struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed 11.65 runs per game on average), something the Pirates will no doubt try to take advantage of.
