Pearl had lost eight straight, but after bumping their record up to 9-12 on Friday that streak is in the rearview. They were the clear victors by a 9-2 margin over the Enterprise Yellowjackets. Considering the Pirates have won seven games by more than five runs this season, Friday's blowout was nothing new.

Piper Schoolar spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered only one earned (and one unearned) run on one hit.

At the plate, Lilly Byrd and Lauryn Lee did most of the damage at the plate: Byrd went 3-for-4 with one triple, two RBI, and one run, while Lee went 2-for-4 with two triples, two runs, and two RBI. Those two triples gave Lee a new career-high. The team also got some help courtesy of Elayiah Turner, who went 2-for-3 with one stolen base, one run, and one RBI.

Pearl always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .514. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Enterprise only posted an OBP of .290.

As for Enterprise, their loss dropped their record down to 5-16-1. Having soared to a lofty 14 runs in the game before, they couldn't push the score so high this time.

On Enterprise's side, they saw three different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Terra Vining, who went 2-for-4 with one stolen base and one run.

Both squads will have to hit the road in their upcoming matchups. Pearl will venture away from home to square off against Meridian at 5:30 p.m. on Monday. The Pirates' pitchers better be ready for this one: the Wildcats have averaged an impressive 6.6 runs per game this season. As for Enterprise, they will head out on the road to challenge Mendenhall at 6:15 p.m. on Monday. The Yellowjackets will need to watch out since the Tigers have now posted at least ten runs in their last eight contests.
