Hylton barely beat Osbourn the last time the pair played, but that sure wasn't the case this time around. The Bulldogs never let the Eagles get on the board and left with a 17-0 win on Monday. Considering the Bulldogs have won 11 matchups by more than six runs this season, Monday's blowout was nothing new.

Alanis Layne made a splash no matter where she played. She didn't allow a single earned run while striking out ten over five innings pitched. She has been consistent: she hasn't tossed less than six strikeouts in eight consecutive appearances. She was also solid in the batter's box, going 2-for-4 with three runs and one RBI.

In other batting news, Hylton let Luana Plummer and Jayel Williams run wild. Plummer went a perfect 4-for-4 with five RBI, three runs, and three doubles, while Williams got on base in all four of her plate appearances with four runs, two triples, and two stolen bases. Williams has been hot, having posted at least one stolen base the last eight times she's played. Alexandra Newton was another key player, going 2-for-3 with three runs, one triple, and one stolen base.

Hylton was getting hits left and right and finished the game having posted a batting average of .500. They are 9-1 when they post a batting average of .375 or better.

Hylton is on a roll lately: they've won six of their last eight games. That's provided a nice bump to their 13-6 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 4.0 runs on average over those games. As for Osbourn, their defeat was their fifth straight on the road, which dropped their record down to 5-10.

Both squads will have to hit the road in their upcoming games. Hylton will face off against Forest Park at 6:00 p.m. on Tuesday. The Bruins will roll in looking for their fourth straight win, something the Bulldogs surely won't give up without a fight. As for Osbourn, they will take on Freedom at 6:00 p.m. on Tuesday. Freedom has struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed 7.32 runs per game on average), something Osbourn will no doubt try to take advantage of.
