Largo hadn't done well against St. Petersburg recently (they were 0-6 in their previous six matchups), but they didn't let the past get in their way on Tuesday. The Packers were the clear victors by a 14-0 margin over the Green Devils. Considering the Packers have won seven matchups by more than five runs this season, Tuesday's blowout was nothing new.

Not much got past Paige Sofge, who gave up just four hits to keep St. Petersburg off the board. Sofge has been consistent recently: she hasn't given up a single earned run in three consecutive appearances.

On the hitting side, Largo let Claire Meloy and Miranda Rollins run wild. Meloy scored three runs and stole three bases while going 3-for-3, while Rollins scored four runs and stole two bases while going 2-for-4. Those three runs gave Meloy a new career-high. The team also got some help courtesy of Elle Fleck, who scored a run while going 2-for-4.

Largo always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .622. The team's really been improving in that area: they've now improved their OBP total in three consecutive games.

Largo has been performing incredibly well recently as they've won seven of their last eight contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 11-4 record this season. The victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.0 runs on average over those games. As for St. Petersburg, they are on a seven-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 1-11.

Both teams will have to hit the road in their upcoming games. Largo will head out to square off against Shorecrest Prep at 4:30 p.m. on Wednesday. The Packers' pitchers better be ready for this one: the Chargers have averaged an impressive 9.4 runs per game this season. As for St. Petersburg, they are taking a road trip to face off against East Lake at 7:00 p.m. on Wednesday. The Eagles' pitching crew has only allowed 2.2 runs per game this season, so the Green Devils' hitters will have their work cut out for them.
