There's no place like home for Piketon, who bounced back after a loss on the road last Friday. They put the hurt on the Eastern Warriors with a sharp 12-2 win on Wednesday. The result was nothing new for the Redstreaks, who have now won 14 contests by six runs or more so far this season.

Kyndall Carroll made a big impact no matter where she played. She tossed six innings while giving up just one earned (and one unearned) run off six hits. Carroll was also solid in the batter's box, going 2-for-4 with one triple.

In other batting news, Danika Ritchie was a standout: she went 3-for-4 with one home run, three runs, and two RBI. That's the most runs she has posted since back in April. Kenley Maynard also deserves some recognition as she hit her first double of the season.

Piketon's victory was their sixth straight at home, which pushed their record up to 22-4. The home wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.8 runs on average over those games. As for Eastern, the loss snapped their winning streak at five games and leaves them with a 15-5 record.

Piketon and Eastern are set to take part in some playoff action in their next matches. The Redstreaks will square off against Zane Trace at 5:00 p.m. on Friday. As for Eastern, they will challenge Lynchburg-Clay at 5:00 p.m. on Thursday. The Warriors are facing the Mustangs at the right time seeing as the Mustangs are stuck on a five-game losing streak.
