Pettisville had already won five in a row (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 11.2 runs) and they went ahead and made it six on Thursday. They came out on top against the Edon Bombers by a score of 8-4. That's the second time they've managed to beat them this season, as they also won 13-8 last Monday.

Hoylman was also big at the plate, going a perfect 4-for-4 with two stolen bases, two RBI, and one run. Those two stolen bases gave her a new career-high.

Pettisville kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 11 hits. They are a perfect 8-0 when they post 11 or more hits.

Pettisville's victory was their fifth straight at home, which pushed their record up to 9-4. The home wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.8 runs on average over those games. As for Edon, their defeat dropped their record down to 3-9.

Looking ahead, Pettisville will welcome Patrick Henry at 5:00 p.m. on Friday. The Blackbirds' pitchers better be ready for this one: the Patriots have averaged an impressive 11.9 runs per game this season. As for Edon, they will head out to challenge Gorham Fayette at 5:00 p.m. on Friday. The Eagles have struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed 18 runs per game on average), something the Bombers will no doubt try to take advantage of.
