Parkersburg South had to skate by with only a one-run margin when they last took the field, which might have inspired the eight-run drubbing they dealt John Marshall on Thursday. The Patriots put the hurt on the Monarchs with a sharp 8-0 victory. Considering the Patriots have won eight matchups by more than five runs this season, Thursday's blowout was nothing new.
Anniston Shelton was a major factor no matter where she played. On the mound, she kept things locked down with no earned runs or hits while striking out 15 over six innings pitched. She has been consistent for a while: she hasn't tossed less than six strikeouts in ten consecutive appearances. She was also solid in the batter's box, going 2-for-3 with two runs and one RBI.
In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Payton Mackey, who went 2-for-3 with two RBI and one double. Another player making a difference was Emma Kuhl, who earned two runs and one stolen base.
The win (which was Parkersburg South's fifth in a row) raised their record to 12-5. Those victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.2 runs on average over those games. As for John Marshall, they have traveled a rocky road recently, having lost six of their last eight contests. That's put a noticeable dent in their 6-9 record this season.
