Jones barely beat Proviso East the last time the pair played, but that sure wasn't the case this time around. The Eagles blew past the Pirates 22-5 on Saturday. The result was nothing new for the Eagles, who have now won nine matchups by eight runs or more so far this season.

The team relied heavily on Lucy Paskiewicz, who went a perfect 3-for-3 with six RBI, three runs, and one stolen base. Paskiewicz is crushing it when it comes to stolen bases: she's snagged at least one every time she's taken the field this season. Another player making a difference was Amanda Lopez, who went 1-for-2 with five stolen bases, two runs, and one RBI.

Jones always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .750. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Proviso East only posted an OBP of .500.

Jones pushed their record up to 10-1 with the win, which was their fifth straight on the road. The road victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 17.0 runs over those games. As for Proviso East, they are on a three-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 1-5.

Both teams will have to hit the road in their upcoming games. Jones will challenge Chicago Academy at 4:30 p.m. on Monday. The Cougars have struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed 8.1 runs per game on average), something the Eagles will no doubt try to take advantage of. As for Proviso East, they will square off against Downers Grove South at 4:30 p.m. on Monday. The Mustangs have struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed 8.09 runs per game on average), something the Pirates will no doubt try to take advantage of.
