While Volunteer put up plenty of runs on Friday, the same can't be said for Cherokee. The Falcons were the clear victors by a 12-0 margin over the Chiefs. Considering the Falcons have won eight matches by more than eight runs this season, Friday's blowout was nothing new.

Addyson Fisher was a major factor no matter where she played. She didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only two hits while striking out 15 over six innings pitched. She has been consistent : she hasn't given up a single earned run any time she's pitched this season. She was also solid in the batter's box, scoring a run.

In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Sydney New, who went 3-for-4 with one home run, five RBI, and one double. Those five RBI gave her a new career-high. Zetta Smith was another key player, scoring two runs while getting on base in three of her four plate appearances.

The victory made it two in a row for Volunteer and bumps their season record up to 9-2. Those wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 17.5 runs over those games. As for Cherokee, they have been struggling recently as they've lost eight of their last nine games. That's put a noticeable dent in their 2-10 record this season.

Cherokee will challenge King's Academy at 6:00 p.m. on Monday. Volunteer will be paying especially close attention to the Chiefs' contest: after the Chiefs faces off against the Lions, they'll take on Volunteer again at 5:30 p.m. on the 15th.
