Maine South had to skate by with only a one-run margin when they last took the field, which might have inspired the ten-run drubbing they dealt Highland Park on Tuesday. The Hawks' pitcher stepped up to hand the Giants a 10-0 shutout. The Hawks not only won on Tuesday, but they posted their biggest win since April 3rd (when they won 14-4).

Maine South got a great performance from Sibelle Stevens as she didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only one hit over five innings pitched. Stevens has been nothing but reliable on the mound: she hasn't given up more than two walks any time she's pitched this season.

On the hitting side, Christina Piotrowski and Aubrey Mazza did most of the damage at the plate: Piotrowski went 2-for-3 with one home run and three RBI, while Mazza went 1-for-2 with one home run. Another player making a difference was Peyton Santore, who went 1-for-3 with one stolen base, two RBI, and one run.

Maine South kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 12 hits. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Highland Park only managed one hit.

Maine South is on a roll lately: they've won three of their last four matches. That's provided a massive bump to their 5-7 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 7.0 runs over those games. As for Highland Park, they have traveled a rocky road recently, having lost three of their last four games. That's put a noticeable dent in their 6-5 record this season.
