In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Autymn Hollon, who went a perfect 3-for-3 with three runs, three doubles, and two RBI. That's the most runs she has posted over her last 12 contests. Another player making a difference was Taylor Carlisle, who scored a run while going 3-for-3.

Wetumpka was getting hits left and right and finished the game having posted a batting average of .762. The team's really been improving in that area: they've now improved their batting average total in three consecutive matchups.

Wetumpka will face off against Chilton County and their ten-game winning streak at 6:00 p.m. on Monday. Wetumpka is looking to tack on another W to their eight-game streak on the road dating back to last season. Meanwhile, Providence Christian will try to stop Wicksburg's eight-game winning streak when they meet at 5:00 p.m. on Monday.
