Monroeville barely beat Carey the last time the pair played, but that sure wasn't the case this time around. The Eagles were the clear victors by an 11-2 margin over the Blue Devils on Thursday. The result was nothing new for the Eagles, who have now won 15 matches by seven runs or more so far this season.

Veanna Helmstetter spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered only one earned (and one unearned) run on five hits. She has been consistent for a while: she hasn't given up more than two walks in 22 consecutive appearances.

At the plate, the team relied heavily on Taryn Tyler, who went a perfect 4-for-4 with two stolen bases, three runs, and three RBI. She is on a roll when it comes to hits, as she's now got three or more in each of the last three games she's played. Madison Reiber was another key player, going 2-for-4 with one triple, two RBI, and one run.

They weren't the only ones making solid contact: Monroeville kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 12 hits. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now got at least 12 hits in three consecutive contests.

Monroeville is on a roll lately: they've won nine of their last ten games. That's provided a nice bump to their 22-3 record this season. The victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 11.7 runs over those games. As for Carey, the defeat snapped their winning streak at three games and leaves them with a 6-12 record.

Monroeville does not have any more games scheduled as of now. As for Carey, they will welcome Buckeye Central at 5:00 p.m. on Friday.
