Iota had already won nine in a row (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 12.8 runs) and they went ahead and made it ten on Monday. They walked away with a 4-1 win over the South Beauregard Knights. The Bulldogs have seen this before: they got the W the last time they saw the Knights, too.

Haydyn Schexnayder made a splash no matter where she played. On the mound, she struck out 11 batters over seven innings while giving up just one earned run off four hits (and only one walk). She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't given up more than two walks in 12 consecutive appearances. She was also big at the plate, going a perfect 2-for-2 with two RBI and one double.

Schexnayder wasn't the only one making solid contact as five players wound up with at least one hit. One of them was Abigail LeJeune, who scored a run while going 1-for-2. Another was Addison Cormier, who scored two runs and stole a base.

Iota pushed their record up to 26-3 with the victory, which was their sixth straight at home. The home wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.0 run on average over those games. As for South Beauregard, they have been struggling recently as they've lost three of their last four contests. That's put a noticeable dent in their 14-13 record this season.

Both teams will have to hit the road in their upcoming games. Iota will venture away from home to face off against Acadiana at 5:00 p.m. on Tuesday. As for South Beauregard, they will head out to challenge Hicks at 5:00 p.m. on Tuesday. The Knights will need to watch out since the Pirates have now posted at least ten runs in their last three matches.
