Carrabec's pitching crew heads into the contest hoping to repeat the dominance they displayed on Monday. Everything went their way against Greenville as they made off with an 18-0 victory.

Amiya Tibbetts was a standout: she went 3-for-4 with two runs, one triple, and one stolen base. She has been hot recently, having posted at least one stolen base the last three times she's played. Another player making a difference was Ava Welch, who got on base in three of her four plate appearances with four stolen bases and three runs.

Carrabec always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .576. That was just more of the same: they've now posted an OBP of .576 or higher in three consecutive matchups.

Meanwhile, after soaring to 13 runs the game before, Valley was a bit more limited in their contest on Wednesday. They came up short against St. Dominic, falling 12-1.

Carrabec pushed their record up to 9-1 with the win, which was their third straight on the road. Those road victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 21.3 runs over those games. As for Valley, their loss dropped their record down to 6-5.

Carrabec took their win against Valley when the teams last played on May 8th by a conclusive 9-2 score. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Cobras since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
