The Lady Hornets smacked out a 14-2 win in division play over homestanding FCAHS.
The win moves Poplarville to 12-1 overall and a perfect 4-0 in league play.
Kayla Ross led the hit parade for the Lady Hornets, as she had three hits including a double. Allysa Graeter also had three hits, including a triple and a double.
Janessa Dedeaux added a pair of hits and also drove in three runs in the winning cause, while Paige Miller added a pair of doubles and a triple to the victorious effort.

Poplarville is off until Tuesday when the Lady Hornets travel to Columbia for a division game.
• Picayune was supposed to get started with division play on Tuesday, but the Lady Tide’s game on the road at Long Beach was rained out.
Picayune is 8-3 on the season and will put an eight game winning streak on the line today when the Lady Tide travels to Long Beach today for a make-up game with the Lady Cats at 5:30.
There will just be one varsity game played.
Picayune then is slated to host D’Iberville in another division game on Thursday night.
