St. Pauls's game last Thursday was a loss, but they didn't let that memory haunt them on Tuesday. They never let the Clinton Dark Horses get on the board and left with an 11-0 win. Considering the Bulldogs have won six matchups by more than nine runs this season, Tuesday's blowout was nothing new.

Not much got past Kayla Williams, who gave up just seven hits to keep Clinton off the board. Williams has been consistent : she hasn't given up more than two walks in five consecutive appearances.

At the plate, St. Pauls let Nevaeh Porter and Aniyah Locklear run wild. Porter scored a run and stole a base while going 3-for-3, while Locklear scored two runs and stole two bases while going 2-for-3. That stolen base marked the first that Porter snagged this season. Another player making a difference was Madison Locklear, who scored a run while going 3-for-4.

St. Pauls was getting hits left and right and finished the game having posted a batting average of .375. That was just more of the same: they've now posted a batting average of .308 or higher in seven consecutive contests.

St. Pauls is on a roll lately: they've won four of their last five games. That's provided a nice bump to their 7-8 record this season. The victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 3.8 runs on average over those games. As for Clinton, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 4-11.

St. Pauls will have a chance to go back-to-back against the Dark Horses: the pair's next game is a rematch scheduled at 6:00 p.m. on Wednesday.
