Richlands won against Swansboro last Friday with six runs and they decided to stick to that run total again on Tuesday. Richlands walked away with a 6-3 win over the Dixon Bulldogs. The victory was nothing new for the Wildcats as they're now sitting on three straight.

Makenzie Goin made a big impact no matter where she played. On the mound, she struck out eight batters over six innings while giving up just one earned run off three hits. Goin was also solid in the batter's box, scoring two runs and stealing a base while going 2-for-4. That stolen base was her first of the season.

In other batting news, LeNayah Jackson was incredible, scoring a run and stealing a base while going 4-for-4. That stolen base marked the first that she snagged this season. Another player making a difference was Piper Turner, who scored a run while going 2-for-4.

Richlands kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 11 hits. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now got at least ten hits in three consecutive contests.

Richlands' win was their third straight on the road, which pushed their record up to 9-4. Those victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.3 runs on average over those games. As for Dixon, they are on a four-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 5-6.

Coming up, Richlands will be playing at home against Midway at 6:00 p.m. on Thursday. Midway will roll in looking for their seventh straight win, something Richlands surely won't give up without a fight. As for Dixon, they will venture away from home to square off against Croatan at 6:00 p.m. on Friday. Croatan's pitching crew has only allowed two runs per game this season, so Dixon's hitters will have their work cut out for them.
