Two teams were on the hunt for playoff glory, but only Neshannock walked away with it. They blew past the Apollo Ridge Vikings 14-2 on Monday. The win was just business as usual for the Lancers, who after 20 games remain undefeated this season.

Addy Frye made a splash while hitting and pitching. She looked comfortable on the mound, striking out 14 batters over five innings while giving up just two earned runs off three hits (and not a single walk). She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't given up more than two walks in eight consecutive appearances. She was also big at the plate, going 2-for-3 with two RBI and one double.

In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Miley Anderson, who went 2-for-3 with two triples, three RBI, and two runs. Another player making a difference was Jaidon Nogay, who went 2-for-4 with two runs, one triple, and two RBI.

Neshannock kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 16 hits. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now got at least eight hits in ten consecutive games.

Neshannock's victory was their 25th straight at home dating back to last season, which pushed their record up to 20-0. The home wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 0.6 runs on average over those games. As for Apollo Ridge, they have been struggling recently as they've lost three of their last four matches. That's put a noticeable dent in their 11-5 record this season.

Neshannock will challenge Bentworth on Wednesday. The Bearcats will roll in looking for their fourth straight victory, something the Lancers surely won't give up without a fight. Apollo Ridge does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
