Midtown had lost five games at home, but after bumping their record up to 6-8 on Thursday that streak is in the rearview. They never let the Forest Park Panthers get on the board and left with a 17-0 victory. Considering the Knights have won six contests by more than 14 runs this season, Thursday's blowout was nothing new.

Maggie Morran looked comfortable as she struck out seven batters over three innings while giving up no earned runs or hits (and only one walk). Those seven strikeouts gave her a new career-high.

At the plate, Midtown got a massive performance out of Annie Evens, who went 2-for-3 with one home run, two runs, and two RBI. That home run marked the first that Evens has launched this season. Samantha Goldberg was another key player, going a perfect 2-for-2 with two stolen bases, three runs, and one RBI.

Midtown always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .739. They are a perfect 6-0 when they post an OBP of .513 or better.

As for Forest Park, they have traveled a rocky road recently, having lost four of their last five matches. That's put a noticeable dent in their 7-7 record this season. The game marked the first time this season in which they were not able to get on the board.

On Forest Park's side, they saw two different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Savannah Wiley, who went a perfect 1-for-1 with one stolen base.

Coming up, Midtown will square off against Druid Hills at 5:55 p.m. on Monday. The Red Devils have struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed 10.63 runs per game on average), something the Knights will no doubt try to take advantage of. As for Forest Park, they will face off against Salem at 5:30 p.m. on Monday. The Seminoles have struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed 20.15 runs per game on average), something the Panthers will no doubt try to take advantage of.
