Newton County put their dominant pitchers on display in the team's third consecutive shutout on Saturday. Their pitchers stepped up to hand the Pisgah Dragons a 9-0 shutout. The Cougars might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won four matches by nine runs or more this season.

Newton County is on a roll lately: they've won six of their last seven contests. That's provided a massive bump to their 6-6 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 9.9 runs over those games. With the loss, Pisgah broke their three-game winning streak and moved their record to 8-4.

Coming up, Newton County will take on Union in a tournament on Monday. Union has struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed 7.7 runs per game on average), something Newton County will no doubt try to take advantage of. As for Pisgah, they will take on Eupora at 4:00 p.m. on Thursday.
