Lafayette was handed a heart-breaking two-run loss in their last match, but they sure didn't let that happen against West Point on Tuesday. The Commodores' pitcher stepped up to hand the Green Wave a 12-0 shutout. Considering the Commodores have won 17 games by more than six runs this season, Tuesday's blowout was nothing new.

Mabry Eason made a big impact no matter where she played. On the mound, she kept things locked down with no earned runs or hits over four innings pitched. Eason was also big at the plate, going 2-for-3 with one home run, two runs, and one stolen base.

In other batting news, Caroline Kelley and Jenny Dreher did most of the damage at the plate: Kelley scored two runs and stole a base while going 2-for-2, while Dreher went 1-for-3 with one home run and two RBI. Those two hits gave Kelley a new career-high. Another player making a difference was Avery Lewis, who scored a run and stole a base while going 1-for-2.

Lafayette has been performing incredibly well recently as they've won 12 of their last 14 contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 19-5 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.7 runs on average over those games. As for West Point, their defeat dropped their record down to 10-9.

Lafayette will have a chance to go back-to-back against the Green Wave: the pair's next game is a rematch scheduled at 6:30 p.m. on Thursday.
