With a playoff win on the line, Athens rose to the challenge on Monday. They never let the Decatur Red Raiders get on the board and left with a 15-0 win. The Golden Eagles might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won 15 games by six runs or more this season.
Jaicey Harty made a splash while hitting and pitching. She looked comfortable on the mound, striking out six batters over two innings while giving up no earned runs or hits (and not a single walk). That's the most strikeouts she has posted since back in March. She was also stellar in the batter's box, getting on base in all four of her plate appearances with one home run, three RBI, and two runs. That home run marked the first that she has launched this season.

Athens' victory was their fifth straight at home, which pushed their record up to 27-14. Those home wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 3.4 runs on average over those games. As for Decatur, they have been struggling recently as they've lost 16 of their last 17 contests. That's put a noticeable dent in their 3-30 record this season.
