After losing to Geneva the last time they met, Perry decided to demonstrate that turnabout is fair play. The Pirates were the clear victors by a 9-1 margin over the Eagles on Wednesday. The result was nothing new for the Pirates, who have now won six contests by eight runs or more so far this season.

Sophie Sivon spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered only one earned run on nine hits and racked up 12 Ks. She has been consistent : she hasn't given up more than one earned run in five consecutive appearances.

On the hitting side, Arianna Rogers was incredible, scoring two runs while going 4-for-5. The team also got some help courtesy of Elise Strahan, who scored a run while going 2-for-5.

Perry was getting hits left and right and finished the game having posted a batting average of .405. That was just more of the same: they've now posted a batting average of .344 or higher in four consecutive games.

Perry has been performing incredibly well recently as they've won seven of their last eight matches. That's provided a massive bump to their 8-4 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.0 runs on average over those games. As for Geneva, they have traveled a rocky road recently, having lost four of their last five contests. That's put a noticeable dent in their 3-5 record this season.

Perry will head out to take on Jefferson Area at 5:00 p.m. on Thursday. The Pirates will need to watch out since the Falcons have now posted at least ten runs in their last five games. As for Geneva, they will host Madison at 4:30 p.m. on Thursday. The Blue Streaks' pitching crew has only allowed 2.5 runs per game this season, so the Eagles' hitters will have their work cut out for them.
