Lake Shore never let their opponents score on Wednesday. They were the clear victors by a 19-0 margin over the Roseville Panthers. Considering the Shorians have won six matches by more than ten runs this season, Wednesday's blowout was nothing new.

Sara Augustitus made a splash while hitting and pitching. She looked comfortable on the mound, striking out six batters over three innings while giving up no earned runs or hits (and only one walk). She has been consistent recently: she hasn't given up more than one walk in four consecutive appearances. She was also big at the plate, getting on base in all three of her plate appearances with one stolen base and one run. That stolen base marked the first that she has snagged this season.

In other batting news, Elise Badyna and Piper Lees did most of the damage at the plate: Badyna went a perfect 2-for-2 with one home run, six RBI, and two runs, while Lees got on base in all three of her plate appearances with one home run, three runs, and two RBI. Those three runs gave Lees a new career-high. The team also got some help courtesy of Renee Fremont, who went a perfect 1-for-1 with two runs, one stolen base, and two RBI.

Lake Shore was getting hits left and right and finished the game having posted a batting average of .429. They are a perfect 6-0 when they post a batting average of .375 or better.

Lake Shore is on a roll lately: they've won six of their last eight games. That's provided a nice bump to their 7-4 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 12.4 runs over those games. As for Roseville, their defeat was their fourth straight at home, which dropped their record down to 0-7.

Both squads are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. Lake Shore will square off against L'Anse Creuse at 4:30 p.m. on Friday. The last three games the Lancers have played have been within two runs, so don't be surprised if it's a close one. As for Roseville, they will challenge Hazel Park at 4:30 p.m. on Thursday. The Panthers will need to watch out since the Vikings have now posted at least ten runs in their last five contests.
