Heritage came tearing into Monday's matchup with five straight wins (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 4.6 runs), and they left with even more momentum. They were the clear victors by a 12-3 margin over the Hixson Wildcats. Considering the Mountaineers have won 12 contests by more than seven runs this season, Monday's blowout was nothing new.

Autumn Brooke Perrin was incredible, going 3-for-4 with three RBI, two runs, and two doubles. That's the most doubles she has posted since back in March. Another player making a difference was Brooke Gennoe, who went 1-for-3 with two runs and one stolen base.

Heritage was getting hits left and right and finished the game having posted a batting average of .424. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Hixson only posted a batting average of .217.

Heritage's win was their sixth straight at home, which pushed their record up to 25-8. The home victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 7.8 runs over those games. As for Hixson, they have traveled a rocky road recently, having lost 11 of their last 12 games. That's put a noticeable dent in their 13-19-1 record this season.

Heritage didn't take long to hit the field again: they've already played their next matchup, a 10-0 win against Lenoir City on the 14th. Hixson does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
