Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Woodlawn). They were the clear victors by a 27-0 margin over the Hampton Bulldogs on Monday. The result was nothing new for the Bears, who have now won ten contests by seven runs or more so far this season.

Logan Clark and Tyner Burris made a splash while hitting and pitching. On the mound, Clark pitched two innings while giving up no earned runs or hits. Meanwhile, Burris tossed two innings while giving up no earned runs or hits. The dominant performance also gave Clark a new career-high in strikeouts (four). At bat, Clark went 3-for-4 with three RBI and two doubles, while Burris went 1-for-3 with four RBI and two runs. Those doubles marked the first that Clark hit this season.

In other batting news, Tate Hall was incredible, going a perfect 2-for-2 with three runs, four RBI, and one triple. That's the most runs he has posted since back in April of 2024. Hollis Holderfield was another key player, scoring two runs and stealing a base while getting on base in three of his five plate appearances.

Woodlawn always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .682. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Hampton only posted an OBP of .200.

Woodlawn has been performing incredibly well recently as they've won nine of their last ten matches. That's provided a nice bump to their 14-3 record this season. The victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.0 runs on average over those games. Hampton is on a seven-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 1-11.

Both teams will have to hit the road in their upcoming games. Woodlawn will venture away from home to take on DeWitt at 4:30 p.m. on Tuesday. The two teams have allowed few runs on average (Woodlawn 2.4, DeWitt 3.6) so any runs scored will be well earned. As for Hampton, they will challenge Parkers Chapel at 5:00 p.m. on Tuesday. Parkers Chapel will roll in looking for their seventh straight win, something Hampton surely won't give up without a fight.
