Thunder Ridge faced Highland in a battle between two of the state's top teams on Friday. The Titans blew past the Rams 7-1. The result was nothing new for the Titans, who have now won seven matchups by six runs or more so far this season.

Carly Jones spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered a run (which was unearned) on two hits and racked up 11 Ks. She has been consistent: she hasn't given up more than one earned run in eight consecutive appearances.

At the plate, Giulia Johns was incredible, going 2-for-4 with one home run, two runs, and one stolen base. Another player making a difference was Zoey Sorg, who went 1-for-4 with one home run and two RBI.

The win (which was Thunder Ridge's sixth in a row) raised their record to 11-4. The victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.8 runs on average over those games. As for Highland, they have been struggling recently as they've lost three of their last four games. That's put a noticeable dent in their 10-6 record this season.

The Bobcats have struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed 6.93 runs per game on average), something the Titans will no doubt try to take advantage of.
