Ninety Six had to skate by with only a one-run margin when they last took the field, which might have inspired the eight-run drubbing they dealt Dixie on Wednesday. The Wildcats were the clear victors by a 9-1 margin over the Hornets. Considering the Wildcats have won 13 games by more than five runs this season, Wednesday's blowout was nothing new.
Jocelyn Coleman was a major factor while hitting and pitching. She kept things locked down with no earned runs or hits while striking out eight over five innings pitched. Those eight strikeouts gave her a new career-high. She was also big at the plate, going a perfect 5-for-5 with three RBI, two runs, and one double.
In other pitching news, Meghan Kimberling looked comfortable as she tossed two innings while giving up no earned runs off one hit. She has been consistent recently: she hasn't given up more than one earned run in three consecutive appearances.
Back at the plate, the team relied heavily on Janiyah Squire, who went 2-for-4 with one home run and three RBI. Evie Montgomery was another key player, going 2-for-4 with one run, one double, and one RBI.
Ninety Six is on a roll lately: they've won nine of their last 11 contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 17-5 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 3.3 runs on average over those games. As for Dixie, their loss ended a ten-game streak of wins at home and dropped them to 17-4.
Looking ahead, Ninety Six will take on Midland Valley at 5:30 p.m. on Friday. Both teams are headed into the matchup with plenty of momentum (the Wildcats have won ten straight at home dating back to last season, while the Mustangs won six straight on the road), something that'll have to change. Dixie does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
