After having lost a blowout in their previous game against Bishop Watterson, Unioto was happy to have turned things around on Monday. Their pitcher stepped up to hand the Piketon Redstreaks a 10-0 shutout. Considering the Shermans have won six contests by more than five runs this season, Monday's blowout was nothing new.

KB Perkins was a major factor no matter where he played. On the mound, he didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only two hits while striking out eight over six innings pitched. He has been consistent: he hasn't given up more than two walks in six consecutive appearances. He was also solid in the batter's box, going 1-for-3 with two runs, one double, and one RBI. That's the most runs he has posted over his last nine matches.

In other batting news, Keegan Snyder was incredible, going 1-for-4 with three RBI, two runs, and one stolen base. That's the most RBI he has posted since back in May of 2024. The team also got some help courtesy of Jaxon Zickafoose, who went 2-for-4 with three stolen bases, two runs, and one RBI.

Unioto has been performing well recently as they've won four of their last five games. That's provided a nice bump to their 10-6 record this season. Those wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 8.0 runs over those games. As for Piketon, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 4-8-1.

Looking ahead, Unioto will square off against Paint Valley at 5:15 p.m. on Tuesday. As for Piketon, they will take on Southeastern at 5:15 p.m. on Tuesday. The Panthers have struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed 7.91 runs per game on average), something the Redstreaks will no doubt try to take advantage of.
