After having lost a blowout in their previous game against Cheverus, Kennebunk was happy to have turned things around on Monday. Their pitcher stepped up to hand the Marshwood Hawks an 11-0 shutout. The Rams might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won seven games by six runs or more this season.

Juliann Pike made a splash while hitting and pitching. She looked comfortable on the mound, not allowing a single earned run and allowing only two hits while striking out 12 over five innings pitched. She has been consistent: she hasn't given up more than two walks in eight consecutive appearances. She was also big at the plate, going 3-for-4 with one home run, two stolen bases, and three runs.

In other batting news, Talia Kellum was excellent, going 1-for-3 with two runs, one stolen base, and one RBI. She has been hot recently, having posted at least one stolen base the last three times she's played. Mia McCarthy was another key player, going 1-for-3 with one run, one double, and one RBI.

Kennebunk was getting hits left and right and finished the game having posted a batting average of .435. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Marshwood only posted a batting average of .111.

Kennebunk has been performing incredibly well recently as they've won seven of their last eight matches. That's provided a nice bump to their 10-3 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 10.0 runs over those games. As for Marshwood, they have traveled a rocky road recently, having lost five of their last six contests. That's put a noticeable dent in their 4-8 record this season.

We've got plenty of inter-region action coming up soon. Kennebunk is set to take on their familiar foe Thornton Academy at 4:00 p.m. on Tuesday. Meanwhile, Marshwood will square off against rival South Portland at 4:30 p.m. on Tuesday.
