Pineville waltzed into their game on Monday with four straight wins... but they left with five. They were the clear victors by a 13-1 margin over the Glenmora Wildcats. The Rebels might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won 16 contests by six runs or more this season.

Chelsie Simpson was a major factor while hitting and pitching. She pitched two innings while giving up just one earned run off two hits. She has been nothing but reliable on the mound: she hasn't given up more than two walks in six consecutive appearances. She was also big at the plate, going 1-for-3 with one triple and one run. That triple was her first of the season.

In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Madalyn Halle, who fired off two home runs and four RBI while going 2-for-4. That's the most home runs she has posted since back in February. Another player making a difference was Kate Herron, who scored three runs and stole two bases while going 2-for-3.

Pineville always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .600. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Glenmora only posted an OBP of .118.

Pineville pushed their record up to 19-2 with the victory, which was their fourth straight at home. The wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.5 runs on average over those games. As for Glenmora, they have traveled a rocky road recently, having lost three of their last four matchups. That's put a noticeable dent in their 9-7 record this season.

Both squads are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. Pineville will square off against Ouachita Parish at 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday. Pineville's pitchers better be ready for this one: Ouachita Parish has averaged an impressive 10 runs per game this season. As for Glenmora, they will face off against Grace Christian at 5:00 p.m. on Tuesday. Glenmora's pitchers better be ready for this one: Grace Christian has averaged an impressive 6.1 runs per game this season.
