The Pelham Pythons will venture away from home to take on the Milford Spartans at 3:00 p.m. on Tuesday. Both come into the contest bolstered by wins in their previous matches.
The scorekeeper got an easy start on Monday as neither Pelham nor Souhegan made it on the board until the fifth inning. The Pythons blew past the Sabers 11-1. The result was nothing new for the Pythons, who have now won four games by six runs or more so far this season.
Caileigh Aguiar was a major factor no matter where she played. On the mound, she struck out seven batters over seven innings while giving up just one earned run off two hits (and only one walk). She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't tossed less than five strikeouts in six consecutive appearances. She was also stellar in the batter's box, going 3-for-4 with two runs and two RBI.
