Allentown won the last time they faced Ewing and things went their way on Thursday too. The Redbirds put the hurt on the Blue Devils with a sharp 11-1 win. The Redbirds might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won eight games by six runs or more this season.

Kelsey Loughlin made a big impact while hitting and pitching. She didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only one hit while striking out nine over 4.1 innings pitched. She has been nothing but reliable on the mound: she hasn't given up more than one earned run in three consecutive appearances. She was also big at the plate, going 1-for-3 with two runs, two RBI, and one double.

In other batting news, Angelina Minerva was incredible, going a perfect 3-for-3 with two stolen bases, three runs, and one triple. She is on a roll when it comes to stolen bases, as she's now snagged at least one in each of the last three games she's played. Savannah Barry was another key player, going a perfect 3-for-3 with two stolen bases, two runs, and one double.

Allentown always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .560. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Ewing only posted an OBP of .190.

The victory was the third in a row for Allentown, bringing their record up to 16-6. Those wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 0.7 runs on average over those games. As for Ewing, they dropped their record down to 6-14 with the loss, which was their third straight at home.

Both teams are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. Allentown will square off against Robbinsville at 10:00 a.m. on Saturday. The Ravens' pitching crew has only allowed 2.6 runs per game this season, so the Redbirds' hitters will have their work cut out for them. As for Ewing, they will host Hightstown at 4:00 p.m. on Friday.
