The home team had won the previous two meetings between Thornwell and McCormick, and Thornwell kept the tradition alive. The Saints put the hurt on the Chiefs with a sharp 22-2 win on Tuesday. Considering the Saints have won eight games by more than 14 runs this season, Tuesday's blowout was nothing new.
Adrienne Anderson was a standout: she went a perfect 3-for-3 with one home run, six RBI, and two runs. Those six RBI gave her a new career-high. Another player making a difference was Karleigh Porter, who got on base in all four of her plate appearances with three runs, four RBI, and one stolen base.
Thornwell always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .971. That's the best OBP they've posted all season.
Thornwell's victory was their fourth straight at home, which pushed their record up to 8-6. Those home wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 0.8 runs on average over those games. As for McCormick, they are on an 18-game losing streak (dating back to last season) that has dropped them down to 0-10.
Both teams are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. Thornwell will challenge Ware Shoals at 4:00 p.m. on Thursday. The Hornets will roll in looking for their fifth straight victory, something the Saints surely won't give up without a fight. As for McCormick, they will square off against Calhoun Falls Charter at 6:00 p.m. on Tuesday. The Blue Flashes have struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed 19.33 runs per game on average), something the Chiefs will no doubt try to take advantage of.
