Lee's rock-solid pitcher showed up for the team's third consecutive shutout on Tuesday. They never let the Union Bears get on the board and left with a 10-0 victory. The result was nothing new for the Generals, who have now won six games by six runs or more so far this season.

Avery Weston made a big impact while hitting and pitching. She didn't allow a single earned run while striking out seven over five innings pitched. She has been consistent recently: she hasn't tossed less than seven strikeouts in four consecutive appearances. She was also big at the plate, going 2-for-3 with one home run and two RBI.

In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Gracie Garrett, who went a perfect 4-for-4 with two runs, one triple, and one double. Another player making a difference was Chloe Bledoe, who went 1-for-3 with one run, one double, and one RBI.

Lee was getting hits left and right and finished the game having posted a batting average of .419. That's the best batting average they've posted all season.

Lee has been performing well recently as they've won six of their last eight matchups. That's provided a nice bump to their 13-6 record this season. Those wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 8.1 runs over those games. As for Union, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 7-11.

Coming up, Lee will face off against John Battle at 5:00 p.m. on Thursday. Both teams are headed into the matchup with plenty of momentum (the Generals have won six straight at home, while the Trojans won five straight on the road), something that'll have to change. As for Union, they will venture away from home to square off against Central Wise at 5:00 p.m. on Thursday. The last three games the Warriors have played have been within two runs, so don't be surprised if it's a close one.
