While Decatur put up some runs on Tuesday, the same can't be said for Bennett. The Seahawks blew past the Clippers 10-0. The result was nothing new for the Seahawks, who have now won nine contests by ten runs or more so far this season.

Emily Blume was a major factor while hitting and pitching. On the mound, she didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only one hit while striking out nine over five innings pitched. She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't given up more than one earned run in six consecutive appearances. She was also big at the plate, going 1-for-3 with two RBI and one double.

In other batting news, Decatur let Madison Donoway and Julianna Woodall run wild. Donoway went 2-for-3 with two runs, one stolen base, and one RBI, while Woodall went 2-for-3 with two runs, one stolen base, and one double. That's the most runs Woodall has posted since back in March. Hayden Esworthy also deserves some recognition as she snagged her first stolen base of the season.

The win made it two in a row for Decatur and bumps their season record up to 12-3. The victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 11.5 runs over those games. As for Bennett, their defeat was their third straight at home, which dropped their record down to 7-6.

Both squads will have to hit the road in their upcoming games. Decatur will challenge Kent Island at 2:30 p.m. on Wednesday. As for Bennett, they will take on Easton at 4:00 p.m. on Wednesday. The Warriors' pitching crew has only allowed 3.3 runs per game this season, so the Clippers' hitters will have their work cut out for them.
