Jackson lost a heartbreaker the last time they played Chillicothe, but it's fair to say they got their revenge given the result of Tuesday's matchup. The Ironman/Ironladies put the hurt on the Cavaliers with a sharp 12-0 victory on Tuesday. Considering the Ironman/Ironladies have won 13 games by more than five runs this season, Tuesday's blowout was nothing new.

Serenity Taylor tossed a big game, not allowing a single earned run over five innings pitched. She has been consistent recently: she hasn't given up more than one walk in four consecutive appearances.

On the hitting side, Jackson let KJ Worsham and Daycee Howard run wild. Worsham went 2-for-3 with five RBI and one run, while Howard went 3-for-4 with two doubles, two RBI, and one run. Those two doubles gave Howard a new career-high. Brynlee Smalley also deserves some recognition as she hit her first double of the season.

Jackson always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .594. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Chillicothe only posted an OBP of .250.

Jackson is on a roll lately: they've won nine of their last 11 contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 17-4 record this season. Those wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.6 runs on average over those games. As for Chillicothe, their defeat dropped their record down to 14-5.

Looking ahead, Jackson is taking a road trip to square off against Sheridan at 5:00 p.m. on Friday. As for Chillicothe, they will venture away from home to face off against Westfall at 5:00 p.m. on Thursday. The Mustangs will aim to continue their three-game streak of scoring more runs each match than the last.
