Abbeville's game on Thursday was a loss, but they didn't let that memory haunt them on Monday. Their pitcher stepped up to hand the McCormick Chiefs an 18-0 shutout. Considering the Panthers have won eight matches by more than five runs this season, Monday's blowout was nothing new.

Justin Oglesby made a big impact no matter where he played. On the mound, he tossed two innings while giving up no earned runs or hits. Oglesby was also solid in the batter's box, getting on base in both of his plate appearances with three stolen bases and two runs. Those three stolen bases gave him a new career-high.

In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Ben Overholt, who went a perfect 3-for-3 with one home run, two triples, and five RBI. Those two triples gave him a new career-high. The team also got some help courtesy of Adam Beiler, who went a perfect 1-for-1 with one home run, two runs, and one stolen base.

Abbeville always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .952. That's the best OBP they've posted all season.

Abbeville is on a roll lately: they've won four of their last five contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 15-4 record this season. As for McCormick, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 1-9.

Looking ahead, Abbeville will square off against Dixie at 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday. The Hornets' pitching crew has only allowed 2.6 runs per game this season, so the Panthers' hitters will have their work cut out for them. McCormick does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
