With a playoff win on the line, Zionsville rose to the challenge on Tuesday. Everything went their way against the Carmel Greyhounds as they made off with a 6-0 win. Considering the Eagles have won 12 matchups by more than five runs this season, Tuesday's blowout was nothing new.

Leah Helton was a major factor no matter where she played. On the mound, she didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only two hits while striking out 14 over seven innings pitched. She has been consistent for a while: she hasn't tossed less than five strikeouts in 12 consecutive appearances. She was also stellar in the batter's box, going 2-for-3 with one home run and two RBI.

In other batting news, Sylvia Mudis was incredible, going 3-for-4 with one home run, one stolen base, and two RBI. That's the most RBI she has posted since May 2nd. Another player making a difference was Hadley Bray, who went 2-for-4 with one home run.

Zionsville 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 Carmel only posted a batting average of .091.

Zionsville has been performing incredibly well recently as they've won seven of their last eight games. That's provided a nice bump to their 21-4 record this season. The victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.6 runs on average over those games. As for Carmel, their loss dropped their record down to 6-17.

Coming up, Zionsville will challenge Noblesville at 6:00 p.m. on Thursday. The two teams have allowed few runs on average (the Eagles 2.4, the Millers 4) so any runs scored will be well earned. Carmel does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
