Heritage was handed a heart-breaking two-run defeat in their last contest, but they sure didn't let that happen against Sequoyah on Thursday. The Mountaineers blew past the Chiefs 10-0. Considering the Mountaineers have won ten matches by more than seven runs this season, Thursday's blowout was nothing new.

Katelyn Russell made a big impact while hitting and pitching. She looked comfortable on the mound, keeping things locked down with no earned runs or hits over six innings pitched. She has been consistent recently: she hasn't given up a single earned run in three consecutive appearances. She was also stellar in the batter's box, going 3-for-4 with one home run and three RBI. That's the most RBI she has posted since back in March.

In other batting news, Brooke Gennoe was incredible, going 2-for-3 with four RBI, one run, and one double. Those four RBI gave her a new career-high. The team also got some help courtesy of Autumn Brooke Perrin, who got on base in three of her four plate appearances with two runs and one double.

Heritage always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .528. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Sequoyah only posted an OBP of .150.

Heritage is on a roll lately: they've won seven of their last nine games. That's provided a nice bump to their 18-7 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.7 runs on average over those games. As for Sequoyah, they dropped their record down to 6-6 with the loss, which was their third straight at home.

Both teams are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. Heritage will host Maryville at 5:30 p.m. on Monday. As for Sequoyah, they will be playing at home against South-Doyle at 5:30 p.m. on Monday. The Cherokees will roll in looking for their fourth straight win, something the Chiefs surely won't give up without a fight.
