Park Vista had to skate by with only a two-run margin when they last took the field, which might have inspired the ten-run drubbing they dealt South Fork on Thursday. The Park Vista Cobras put the hurt on the South Fork Bulldogs with a sharp 12-2 victory. The Cobras might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won five games by eight runs or more this season.

Angeline Mergen was a major factor while hitting and pitching. She struck out eight batters over five innings while giving up just two earned runs off four hits. Mergen was also big at the plate, scoring two runs and stealing a base. She is on a roll when it comes to stolen bases, as she's now snagged at least one in each of the last three games she's played.

In other batting news, Park Vista let Hannah Durante and Savanna Latone run wild. Durante went 2-for-4 with four RBI, two runs, and one triple, while Latone scored two runs while going 4-for-4. That's the most runs Latone has posted since back in February. Another player making a difference was Isabella Golas, who scored two runs while going 2-for-3.

Park Vista kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 15 hits. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now got at least nine hits in four consecutive matchups.

Park Vista's win was their sixth straight at home dating back to last season, which pushed their record up to 10-1. Those victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.8 runs on average over those games. As for South Fork, their loss dropped their record down to 5-4.

Park Vista didn't take long to hit the field again: they've already played their next contest, a 3-0 victory against Stoneman Douglas on the 17th. After both having extra time off, South Fork and Jensen Beach will shake off the cobwebs and hit the field one another at 6:00 p.m. on March 25th. South Fork is strutting in with some hitting muscle as they've averaged 6.8 runs per game this season.
