Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Swain County). They put the hurt on the Andrews Wildcats with a sharp 19-1 victory on Tuesday. Winning may never get old, but the Maroon Devils sure are getting used to it with their eighth in a row.
Rylee Rawls spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered a run (which was unearned) on one hit. She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't tossed less than five strikeouts any time she's pitched this season.
On the hitting side, Hadley Shuler was incredible, scoring three runs and stealing a base while going 3-for-4. Those three runs gave her a new career-high. Another player making a difference was Reese Ammons, who scored two runs and stole two bases while going 1-for-2.
Shuler wasn't the only one working in the hit department: Swain County kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 13 hits. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now got at least eight hits in five consecutive contests.
Swain County pushed their record up to 12-3 with the win, which was their sixth straight at home. Those home victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 0.3 runs on average over those games. As for Andrews, they are on an 11-game losing streak (dating back to last season) that has dropped them down to 0-7.
Both squads are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. Swain County will host Robbinsville at 4:30 p.m. on Tuesday. As for Andrews, they will have a little extra prep time after the defeat as they won't be playing again for a while. They'll take on Murphy at 4:30 p.m. on the 15th.
