Providence has gone a perfect 5-0 against Myers Park recently and they'll look to pad the win column further on Monday. The Providence Panthers will welcome the Myers Park Mustangs at 5:30 p.m. Providence knows how to get runs on the board -- the squad has finished with ten runs or more in their past three contests -- so hopefully Myers Park likes a good challenge.

Providence hadn't beaten Butler on the road since May 5, 2022 but that history sure didn't bother them on Friday. Providence blew past Butler 13-3. The result was nothing new for the Panthers, who have now won four games by ten runs or more so far this season.

Averie Jones spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered three earned runs on 11 hits. That's the fewest earned runs she has allowed since back in April of 2024.

At the plate, Emerson McAllister was a standout: she went 1-for-3 with one home run and two RBI. That's the most RBI she has posted since back in April of 2024. Another player making a difference was Sophie Strugar, who went 2-for-5 with two runs, one triple, and one RBI.

Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Myers Park). They walked away with a 9-4 victory over Palisades on Thursday. The win continues a trend for the Mustangs in their matchups with the Pumas: they've now won seven in a row.

Myers Park also let their pitcher toss all seven innings and she was also dialed-in: Anna Eason gave up just two earned (and two unearned) runs on five hits. Eason has been nothing but reliable on the mound: she hasn't given up more than one walk in three consecutive appearances.

On the hitting side, the team relied heavily on Ryann Rempson, who went 3-for-4 with two runs, one triple, and one double. Regan Godman was another key player, scoring a run while going 3-for-4.

Myers Park kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 13 hits. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Palisades only managed eight hits.

Providence's victory bumped their record up to 5-1. As for Myers Park, the win got them back to even at 2-2.

Everything went Providence's way against Myers Park in their previous meeting back in April of 2024, as Providence made off with an 8-1 victory. Will Providence repeat their success, or does Myers Park have a new game plan this time around? We'll find out soon enough.
