Hersey got themselves on the board against Wheeling on Wednesday, but Wheeling never followed suit. They blew past the Wildcats 9-0. Considering the Huskies have won 11 matches by more than five runs this season, Wednesday's blowout was nothing new.

The victory made it two in a row for Hersey and bumps their season record up to 22-6-1. The wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 10.5 runs over those games. As for Wheeling, they have traveled a rocky road recently, having lost eight of their last nine games. That's put a noticeable dent in their 10-18 record this season.

Both squads will have to hit the road in their upcoming games. Hersey will take on Hoffman Estates at 4:45 p.m. on Thursday. The Hawks have struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed 7.45 runs per game on average), something the Huskies will no doubt try to take advantage of.

The Fillies/Broncos' pitching crew has only allowed 3.7 runs per game this season, so the Wildcats' hitters will have their work cut out for them.
