Waltrip put another one in the bag on Friday to keep their perfect season alive. Their pitcher stepped up to hand the Milby Buffs a 10-0 shutout. Give the Rams' pitching crew some credit: that's the team's third straight shutout.

Eris Aiken was a major factor while hitting and pitching. She kept things locked down with no earned runs or hits while striking out 11 over five innings pitched. 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 solid in the batter's box, going 2-for-3 with two RBI.

In other batting news, Holley Chavez was a standout: she scored two runs and stole a base while going 2-for-2. She has been hot, having posted at least one stolen base the last five times she's played. Gizelle Garcia was another key player, scoring a run and stealing a base while going 3-for-4.

Waltrip always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .607. That was just more of the same: they've now posted an OBP of .607 or higher in four consecutive matches.

Waltrip's victory was their third straight at home, which pushed their record up to 8-0. The wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.0 run on average over those games. As for Milby, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 4-2.

Both teams are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. Waltrip will welcome Madison at 9:00 a.m. on Saturday. Madison has struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed 20.25 runs per game on average), something Waltrip will no doubt try to take advantage of. Milby will get a bit of extra time to process the loss as their next game is a ways off. They'll take on Spring Woods at 5:00 p.m. on March 18th. Milby's pitching crew has only allowed 3.2 runs per game this season, so Spring Woods' hitters will have their work cut out for them.
