Hanover-Horton put their dominant pitcher on display in the team's third consecutive shutout on Friday. Their pitcher stepped up to hand the Madison Trojans a 12-0 shutout. Considering the Comets have won ten matches by more than seven runs this season, Friday's blowout was nothing new.

Alexyn DuBois made a big impact while hitting and pitching. She looked comfortable on the mound, not allowing a single earned run and allowing only two hits while striking out nine over five innings pitched. She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't given up a single earned run any time she's pitched this season. She was also stellar in the batter's box, going 3-for-4 with two runs, one triple, and two RBI.

In other batting news, Ava Smith was incredible, going a perfect 4-for-4 with one home run, three runs, and one stolen base. She is on a roll when it comes to hits, as she's now got three or more in each of the last three games she's played. Amanda Ley also deserves some recognition as she snagged her first stolen base of the season.

Hanover-Horton always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .529. That was just more of the same: they've now posted an OBP of .529 or higher in three consecutive contests.

Hanover-Horton's record is now 12-2. As for Madison, they have been struggling recently as they've lost three of their last four games. That's put a noticeable dent in their 9-4 record this season.
