Hartsville never got on the board in their matchup last Tuesday, but that sure wasn't the case in their game against Dillon on Thursday. They put the hurt on the Wildcats with a sharp 10-3 win. Considering the Red Foxes have won nine matchups by more than six runs this season, Thursday's blowout was nothing new.

Allie Bailey looked comfortable as she didn't allow a single earned run over four innings pitched. She has been consistent for a while: she hasn't given up more than two walks any time she's pitched this season.

At the plate, Carter Shumate was incredible, going 2-for-4 with three runs, one triple, and two RBI. That's the most RBI she has posted over her last 13 games. Aliyah Smith was another key player, scoring a run while going 3-for-4.

Hartsville is on a roll lately: they've won six of their last seven contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 10-4 record this season. The victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 12.1 runs over those games. This is the second loss in a row for Dillon and nudges their season record down to 1-8-1.

Both squads will have to hit the road in their upcoming games. Hartsville will head out to challenge Lower Richland at 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday. As for Dillon, they will venture away from home to face off against Marlboro County at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
