Jefferson Davis County had already won two in a row (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 6.5 runs) and they went ahead and made it three on Monday. Everything went their way against the Magee Trojans as they made off with a 16-2 win. The result was nothing new for the Jaguars, who have now won nine matches by eight runs or more so far this season.

D'Zayvianna Peyton made a splash while hitting and pitching. On the mound, she struck out 11 batters over six innings while giving up just two earned runs off one hit. She has been consistent recently: she hasn't tossed less than nine strikeouts in three consecutive appearances. She was also stellar in the batter's box, going 3-for-5 with three RBI, one triple, and one stolen base. That's the most RBI she has posted over her last ten contests.

In other batting news, Chancey McRaney was a standout: she scored three runs and stole three bases while getting on base in all four of her plate appearances. Those three runs gave her a new career-high. The team also got some help courtesy of Zya Walker, who scored two runs and stole two bases while going 2-for-4.

Jefferson Davis County always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .525. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Magee only posted an OBP of .200.

Jefferson Davis County's victory was their fifth straight on the road dating back to last season, which pushed their record up to 11-1. The road wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.0 run on average over those games. As for Magee, they have traveled a rocky road recently, having lost three of their last four games. That's put a noticeable dent in their 4-7 record this season.

Jefferson Davis County will host Forrest County Agricultural at 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday. As for Magee, they are taking a road trip to face off against Forest at 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday. The Bearcats have struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed 16.16 runs per game on average), something the Trojans will no doubt try to take advantage of.
