Hale Ray barely beat Bolton the last time the pair played, but that sure wasn't the case this time around. The Noises were the clear victors by a 12-0 margin over the Bulldogs on Monday. Considering the Noises have won 12 matches by more than five runs this season, Monday's blowout was nothing new.

Lily Jahne made a big impact while hitting and pitching. She kept things locked down with no earned runs or hits while striking out 11 over four innings pitched. She has been nothing but reliable on the mound: she hasn't given up more than one earned run in 13 consecutive appearances. She was also big at the plate, going a perfect 3-for-3 with three runs, three doubles, and three RBI. That's the most hits she has posted since back in April.

In other batting news, Hale Ray let Maggie Janecek and Fenway Jankowski run wild. Janecek went a perfect 1-for-1 with three runs, three RBI, and one stolen base, while Jankowski got on base in three of her four plate appearances with three runs, one stolen base, and one double. That's the most runs Janecek has posted since back in April. The team also got some help courtesy of Briella Dean, who went a perfect 2-for-2 with one stolen base and two RBI.

Hale Ray always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .607. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Bolton only posted an OBP of .125.

The victory was the eighth in a row for Hale Ray, bringing their record up to 16-3. Those wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.4 runs on average over those games. As for Bolton, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 8-5.

Looking ahead, Hale Ray will square off against Coginchaug Regional at 4:00 p.m. on Tuesday. The Noises' pitchers better be ready for this one: the Blue Devils have averaged an impressive 6.5 runs per game this season. Bolton does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
