Harrison County had already won six in a row (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 9.2 runs) and they went ahead and made it seven on Saturday. Their pitchers stepped up to hand the Corbin Redhounds a 12-0 shutout. Considering the Thorobreds/Fillies have won 18 contests by more than six runs this season, Saturday's blowout was nothing new.

Isabella Persinger and Shyanne Ross made a big impact while hitting and pitching. On the mound, Persinger struck out six batters over three innings while giving up no earned runs off one hit. Meanwhile, Ross pitched two innings while giving up no earned runs or hits. She has been consistent for a while: she hasn't given up more than one earned run in 11 consecutive appearances. At the plate, Persinger went a perfect 2-for-2 with three RBI, while Ross got on base in three of her four plate appearances with three runs.

In other batting news, Emma Hamm and Aleigha Newby did most of the damage at the plate: Hamm went a perfect 4-for-4 with four RBI, one run, and one double, while Newby went a perfect 2-for-2 with two runs, two RBI, and one double. Those four RBI gave Hamm a new career-high. Another player making a difference was Allison Dye, who went 1-for-2 with two runs and one stolen base.

Harrison County kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 11 hits. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now got at least eight hits in seven consecutive matchups.

Harrison County pushed their record up to 24-1 with the victory, which was their 17th straight at home dating back to last season. Those home wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 0.8 runs on average over those games. As for Corbin, they have traveled a rocky road recently, having lost three of their last four games. That's put a noticeable dent in their 5-8 record this season.

Harrison County will welcome Campbell County at 10:00 a.m. on Saturday. The two teams have allowed few runs on average (the Thorobreds/Fillies 1.2, the Camels 3.8) so any runs scored will be well earned. As for Corbin, they will take on Harlan County at 6:00 p.m. on Monday.
