While Buckeye put up some runs on Monday, the same can't be said for Bay. The Bucks were the clear victors by a 10-0 margin over the Rockets. Considering the Bucks have won 17 games by more than eight runs this season, Monday's blowout was nothing new.

Bay's batters probably weren't too happy with Lilly Young, who pitched a no hitter and racked up 15 Ks (she gave up a single walk). Young has been nothing but reliable on the mound: she hasn't given up more than two walks in four consecutive appearances.

On the hitting side, Faith Shaw was incredible, firing off two home runs and five RBI while going 2-for-4. Those two home runs gave her a new career-high. The team also got some help courtesy of Ava Piovarchy, who went a perfect 2-for-2 with two stolen bases, two runs, and two doubles.

Buckeye was getting hits left and right and finished the game having posted a batting average of .414. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Bay only posted a batting average of .000.

Buckeye is on a roll lately: they've won six of their last seven matches. That's provided a nice bump to their 19-5-1 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 12.3 runs over those games. As for Bay, they dropped their record down to 3-9 with the defeat, which was their fifth straight at home.

Buckeye does not have any more games scheduled as of now. As for Bay, they will be playing in front of their home fans against Valley Forge at 5:00 p.m. on Tuesday. The Rockets are facing the Patriots at the right time seeing as the Patriots are stuck on an 18-game losing streak.
