After only two runs in their last match, Holmes County made sure to put some runs up on the board against Destin on Friday. The Blue Devils blew past the Sharks 12-0. The result was nothing new for the Blue Devils, who have now won nine games by seven runs or more so far this season.

Bri Adams made a big impact while hitting and pitching. She looked comfortable on the mound, not allowing a single earned run and allowing only one hit while striking out ten over five innings pitched. She has been consistent for a while: she hasn't tossed less than six strikeouts in 11 consecutive appearances. She was also big at the plate, going 1-for-3 with one home run. That home run was her first of the season.

In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Jacee Bowers, who fired off two home runs and four RBI while going 2-for-3. Those two home runs gave her a new career-high. The team also got some help courtesy of Kiersten Womble, who went 2-for-3 with two runs, two doubles, and one stolen base.

Holmes County lost a few balls and finished the game with three home runs. That's the most home runs they've managed all season.

Holmes County is on a roll lately: they've won six of their last eight contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 15-8 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 3.0 runs on average over those games. As for Destin, they have been struggling recently as they've lost three of their last four matchups. That's put a noticeable dent in their 13-9 record this season.

Both squads are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. Holmes County will host Liberty County at 6:00 p.m. on Monday. The Bulldogs' pitching crew has only allowed 2.9 runs per game this season, so the Blue Devils' hitters will have their work cut out for them. As for Destin, they will look to defend their home field on Monday against Freeport at 5:00 p.m. The Sharks' pitchers better be ready for this one: the Bulldogs have averaged an impressive 8.7 runs per game this season.
