Pennsville Memorial won the last time they faced Clayton and things went their way on Monday too. The Eagles put the hurt on the Clippers with a sharp 20-4 victory. The result was nothing new for the Eagles, who have now won eight matches by six runs or more so far this season.

Savannah Palverento was a major factor while hitting and pitching. She tossed five innings while giving up three earned (and one unearned) runs off five hits. Palverento was also solid in the batter's box, going 2-for-3 with one triple and one run.

In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Lily Edwards, who went a perfect 4-for-4 with four runs, four RBI, and one triple. Those four RBI gave her a new career-high. Avery Watson was another key player, going 2-for-3 with one home run, two runs, and two RBI.

Pennsville Memorial was getting hits left and right and finished the game having posted a batting average of .656. That's the best batting average they've posted all season.

Pennsville Memorial is on a roll lately: they've won 11 of their last 12 games. That's provided a nice bump to their 15-3 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 3.1 runs on average over those games. As for Clayton, they have traveled a rocky road recently, having lost three of their last four contests. That's put a noticeable dent in their 4-8 record this season.

Both squads will have to hit the road in their upcoming games. Pennsville Memorial will take on Pitman at 4:00 p.m. on Wednesday. As for Clayton, they will challenge Wildwood at 4:00 p.m. on Wednesday. The Warriors have struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed 11.75 runs per game on average), something the Clippers will no doubt try to take advantage of.
