Shallowater won the last time they faced Littlefield and things went their way on Monday too. Shallowater never let Littlefield get on the board and left with a 17-0 win. The Mustangs might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won 11 matches by seven runs or more this season.
Gracie Banks made a big impact while hitting and pitching. She didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only two hits while striking out seven over four innings pitched. She has been consistent for a while: she hasn't given up more than two walks in 12 consecutive appearances. She was also stellar in the batter's box, going 2-for-3 with five RBI and one double. Those five RBI gave her a new career-high.
In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Jaiden Luna, who went a perfect 4-for-4 with one home run, four runs, and three RBI. That home run was her first of the season. Kambry Baker was another key player, scoring three runs while going 2-for-2.
Shallowater was getting hits left and right and finished the game having posted a batting average of .680. That's the best batting average they've posted all season.
Shallowater pushed their record up to 14-5 with the victory, which was their 13th straight at home dating back to last season. Those wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 12.8 runs over those games. As for Littlefield, their loss ended a three-game streak of away wins and brought them to 16-6.
Looking ahead, Shallowater will take on Slaton at 12:00 p.m. on Saturday. We've got a battle between Wildcats coming up. Idalou has struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed 16.43 runs per game on average), something Littlefield will no doubt try to take advantage of.
