Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Thorndale). Their pitcher stepped up to hand the Chilton Pirates a 19-0 shutout on Thursday. The result was nothing new for the Bulldogs, who have now won four games by ten runs or more so far this season.
Karis Ginn was a major factor while hitting and pitching. She looked comfortable on the mound, striking out nine batters over three innings while giving up no earned runs or hits (and only one walk). She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't tossed less than six strikeouts any time she's pitched this season. She was also stellar in the batter's box, going a perfect 2-for-2 with one home run, four RBI, and one double. Those four RBI gave her a new career-high.
In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Malayya Dodson, who went a perfect 3-for-3 with five RBI, three runs, and two doubles. Those two doubles gave her a new career-high. Another player making a difference was Brilee Mulligan, who got on base in all three of her plate appearances with four RBI, one run, and one double.
Thorndale always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .815. That's the best OBP they've posted all season.
Thorndale has been performing incredibly well recently as they've won seven of their last eight contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 8-3 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 3.1 runs on average over those games. As for Chilton, their loss was their eighth straight on the road dating back to last season, which dropped their record down to 0-6.
The teams didn't have to wait long for a rematch: Thorndale beat the Pirates by a score of 27-0 later that day.
