Tazewell dropped to 7-11 on Tuesday, ending the team's three-game streak of wins at home. They lost 10-1 to the Lebanon Pioneers. Unfortunately, that's the second time they've come up short against the Pioneers this season, as they also lost their prior matchup 9-0 back in April.
Jillian McFarland spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered only one earned (and nine unearned) runs on 14 hits and racked up seven Ks. She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't given up more than two walks any time she's pitched this season.
On the hitting side, Tazewell saw two different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Kendyl Taylor, who went 1-for-2 with one triple and one run. That triple marked the first that Taylor has hit this season.
As for Lebanon, the win (which was their third in a row) raised their record to 15-3. Considering they have won 13 contests by more than seven runs this season, Tuesday's blowout was nothing new.
On Lebanon's side, Chadyn Musick was a major factor while hitting and pitching. On the mound, she didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only one hit over five innings pitched. Musick was also big at the plate, going 3-for-4 with four RBI and one double. That's the most RBI she has posted since back in March.
In other batting news, Kaitlynn Morrison was incredible, going 1-for-5 with one home run and four RBI. Those four RBI gave her a new career-high. Another player making a difference was Jaidyn Fields, who went 3-for-5 with two runs and one RBI.
