Matanzas barely beat Providence School the last time the pair played, but that sure wasn't the case this time around. The Pirates blew past the Stallions 11-5 on Tuesday. The Pirates might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won nine matches by six runs or more this season.

Matanzas got a great performance from LEAH STEVENS as she didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only two hits while striking out 12 over 5.1 innings pitched. STEVENS has been consistent for a while: she hasn't given up more than one earned run any time she's pitched this season.

At the plate, the team relied heavily on JULIET FOGEL, who went a perfect 3-for-3 with one home run, two runs, and one triple. Another player making a difference was ASHLEY SAMPSELLE, who scored three runs while going 2-for-3.

Matanzas always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .595. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Providence School only posted an OBP of .324.

The win (which was Matanzas' eighth in a row) raised their record to 16-1. Those victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.4 runs on average over those games. As for Providence School, they are on a three-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 4-9.
