Elizabethtown barely beat Holy Cross the last time the pair played, but that sure wasn't the case this time around. The Panthers never let the Cougars get on the board and left with a 10-0 win on Monday. Considering the Panthers have won eight contests by more than five runs this season, Monday's blowout was nothing new.

Alyssa Philpot was incredible, firing off two home runs and five RBI while going 2-for-3. That's the most RBI she has posted since back in March. The team also got some help courtesy of Savannah Castaneda, who went 1-for-4 with one run, one double, and one RBI.

Elizabethtown always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .559. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Holy Cross only posted an OBP of .059.

The victory was the fifth in a row for Elizabethtown, bringing their record up to 15-8. The wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 8.0 runs over those games. As for Holy Cross, their defeat dropped their record down to 8-11.

Both squads will have to hit the road in their upcoming games. Elizabethtown will take on Bethlehem at 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday. The last four games the Eagles/Banshees have played have been within two runs, so don't be surprised if it's a close one. As for Holy Cross, they will challenge DuPont Manual at 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday. The Cougars' pitchers better be ready for this one: the Crimsons have averaged an impressive 7.2 runs per game this season.
