Charleston won the last time they faced St. Teresa and things went their way on Tuesday too. The Trojans blew past the Bulldogs 10-0. The result was nothing new for the Trojans, who have now won five games by eight runs or more so far this season.

Railyn Cox was a major factor no matter where she played. She looked comfortable on the mound, keeping things locked down with no earned runs or hits while striking out seven over five innings pitched. She has been consistent : she hasn't given up more than two walks in five consecutive appearances. She was also big at the plate, going 2-for-3 with two RBI.

In other batting news, Karley Eastman and Avery Beals did most of the damage at the plate: Eastman scored two runs while getting on base in all three of her plate appearances, while Beals scored a run while going 2-for-3. That's the most runs Eastman has posted since back in May of 2024.

Charleston was getting hits left and right and finished the game having posted a batting average of .409. That was just more of the same: they've now posted a batting average of .306 or higher in three consecutive matchups.

Charleston has been performing incredibly well recently as they've won seven of their last eight contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 9-3 record this season. Those wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 8.4 runs over those games. As for St. Teresa, their loss was their sixth straight on the road, which dropped their record down to 6-10.

Both squads will have to hit the road in their upcoming games. Charleston will face off against Champaign Central at 4:30 p.m. on Wednesday. The Maroons will roll in looking for their tenth straight victory, something the Trojans surely won't give up without a fight. As for St. Teresa, they will challenge Meridian at 4:30 p.m. on Thursday.
