Southern Choctaw won the last time they faced Marengo and things went their way on Monday too. The Indians put the hurt on the Panthers with a sharp 9-3 win. The Indians might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won seven contests by six runs or more this season.

Gabby Land spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered just two earned (and one unearned) runs on four hits.

On the hitting side, the team relied heavily on Emerald Dunigan, who scored three runs and stole two bases while getting on base in three of her four plate appearances. That's the most stolen bases she has posted since back in March of 2024. The team also got some help courtesy of Keri McGee, who went 1-for-4 with one home run, two stolen bases, and two runs.

Southern Choctaw has been performing well recently as they've won five of their last six matches. That's provided a massive bump to their 10-7-1 record this season. The victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 11.8 runs over those games. As for Marengo, their defeat was their third straight on the road, which dropped their record down to 2-3.

Southern Choctaw has already played their next game (against Sweet Water), but no score has been uploaded at the time of writing. Marengo will be paying especially close attention to the Indians' contest: after the Indians faces off against the Bulldogs, they'll take on Marengo again at 4:30 p.m. on Thursday.
