They never let the Tigers get on the board and left with a 10-0 victory. Considering the Panthers have won six contests by more than nine runs this season, Tuesday's blowout was nothing new.

Lilly Andrews made a splash no matter where she played. She looked comfortable on the mound, not allowing a single earned run and allowed only one hit while striking out seven over five innings pitched. She has been consistent : she hasn't tossed less than seven strikeouts in six consecutive appearances. She was also solid in the batter's box, going 2-for-4 with two RBI and one double.

In other batting news, Taylor Sullivan and Madison Gardner did most of the damage at the plate: Sullivan scored a run while getting on base in all three of her plate appearances, while Gardner scored three runs while going 1-for-3. The dominant performance also gave Sullivan a new career-high in RBI (three). Another player making a difference was Ella Alexander, who scored a run while getting on base in three of her four plate appearances.

Yazoo County hit smart and finished the game with only one strikeout. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now struck out at most five strikeouts in seven consecutive matchups.

Yazoo County's win was their eighth straight at home, which pushed their record up to 12-3. Those victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 11.8 runs over those games. As for Winona, they are on a seven-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 4-10.

Both squads are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. Yazoo County will face off against Humphreys County at 5:00 p.m. on Thursday. We've got a battle between Tigers coming up. Edwards has struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed 22.5 runs per game on average), something Winona will no doubt try to take advantage of.
