Hopewell entered their tilt with Moon Area on Thursday with three consecutive wins, and they'll enter their next game with four. They blew past the Tigers 10-2. The Vikings might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won nine games by six runs or more this season.

Allison Ramaley was a major factor no matter where she played. On the mound, she didn't allow a single earned run over seven innings pitched. She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't given up more than two walks in nine consecutive appearances. She was also big at the plate, going 2-for-5 with two runs and two RBI.

In other batting news, Hopewell let Tallulah Showrank and Victoria Mann run wild. Showrank went 3-for-4 with three RBI, two runs, and one triple, while Mann went 3-for-4 with one triple, two RBI, and one double. That's the most hits Showrank has posted since back in March. Another player making a difference was Marina Pinchotti, who went 2-for-3 with two runs and one stolen base.

Hopewell was getting hits left and right and finished the game having posted a batting average of .400. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Moon Area only posted a batting average of .207.

Hopewell pushed their record up to 10-7 with the win, which was their fourth straight on the road. The road victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 9.0 runs over those games. As for Moon Area, their record is now 9-9.

Both teams are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. Hopewell will host Sewickley Academy at 4:00 p.m. on Friday. Sewickley Academy's pitching crew has only allowed 3.7 runs per game this season, so Hopewell's hitters will have their work cut out for them. As for Moon Area, they will welcome Beaver at 1:00 p.m. on Saturday. The Tigers' pitchers better be ready for this one: the Bobcats have averaged an impressive 9.8 runs per game this season.
