Edgewood waltzed into their matchup on Thursday with five straight wins... but they left with six. They blew past the Cloverdale Clovers 12-2. The Mustangs might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won eight contests by six runs or more this season.

ALLY BLAND was a major factor while hitting and pitching. On the mound, she struck out 11 batters over five innings while giving up just two earned runs off two hits (and only one walk). She has been consistent for a while: she hasn't tossed less than eight strikeouts in 13 consecutive appearances. She was also big at the plate, going 3-for-4 with two RBI.

In other batting news, the team relied heavily on ADDISON YEARBY, who fired off two home runs, three runs, and three RBI while going 3-for-4. That's the most hits she has posted since back in April. Another player making a difference was OLIVIA McPHERSON, who got on base in three of her four plate appearances with two stolen bases and three runs.

Edgewood kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 12 hits. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now got at least eight hits in four consecutive games.

Edgewood's win was their fifth straight at home, which pushed their record up to 14-4. Those home victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 0.8 runs on average over those games. As for Cloverdale, they have traveled a rocky road recently, having lost four of their last five matches. That's put a noticeable dent in their 7-12 record this season.

Edgewood has already played their next contest (against Clay City), but no score has been uploaded at the time of writing. As for Cloverdale, they will look to defend their home field on Monday against North Central at 5:30 p.m.
