While Kennebunk put up plenty of runs on Tuesday, the same can't be said for Thornton Academy. The Rams didn't even let the Trojans on the board, marking the Rams' second-straight 11-0 shutout. The result was nothing new for the Rams, who have now won eight contests by six runs or more so far this season.

Juliann Pike 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 given up more than two walks in nine consecutive appearances. She was also big at the plate, firing off two home runs and three RBI while going 2-for-4. That's the most home runs she has posted since back in April.

In other batting news, Emma Orendorf was incredible, going 2-for-3 with two runs, two doubles, and two RBI. Those two doubles gave her a new career-high. Another player making a difference was Mia McCarthy, who went 1-for-3 with two runs, one stolen base, and one RBI.

Kennebunk hit smart and finished the game with only one strikeout. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Thornton Academy struck out 15 times.

Kennebunk has been performing incredibly well recently as they've won eight of their last nine games. That's provided a nice bump to their 11-3 record this season. Those wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 10.1 runs over those games. As for Thornton Academy, their defeat dropped their record down to 4-7.

Coming up, Kennebunk will be playing at home against Scarborough at 4:30 p.m. on Thursday. As for Thornton Academy, they will head out to challenge Noble at 4:30 p.m. on Wednesday. The Knights have struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed 14.09 runs per game on average), something the Trojans will no doubt try to take advantage of.
