There's no place like home for Reading, who bounced back after a loss on the road on Friday. They never let the Clark Montessori Cougars get on the board and left with a 15-0 win on Wednesday. Considering the Blue Devils have won 11 contests by more than five runs this season, Wednesday's blowout was nothing new.

Reading got a massive performance out of Hailey Mowell, who fired off three triples, five RBI, and one run while going 4-for-4. Those three triples gave Mowell a new career-high. Brooke Androne was another key player, going a perfect 3-for-3 with one home run, three RBI, and two runs.

They weren't the only ones making solid contact: Reading kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 12 hits. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now got at least ten hits in three consecutive games.

Reading's victory was their third straight at home, which pushed their record up to 13-5. Those home wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.7 runs on average over those games. As for Clark Montessori, they are on an eight-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 1-10.

Coming up, Reading will welcome Mercy McAuley at 5:00 p.m. on Thursday. The Blue Devils' pitchers better be ready for this one: the Wolves have averaged an impressive 6.9 runs per game this season. Clark Montessori does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
