Makayla Munoz spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered just two earned runs on seven hits and racked up nine Ks. She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't tossed less than five strikeouts in five consecutive appearances.

On the hitting side, the team relied heavily on Eliana Villegas, who went 1-for-2 with one home run, two runs, and two RBI. That home run marked the first that she launched this season. The team also got some help courtesy of Hailey Ruiz, who went 1-for-4 with one home run.

Hays is on a roll lately: they've won seven of their last nine contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 14-8 record this season. Those wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 7.9 runs over those games. As for Glenn, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 14-9.

We've got plenty of inter-district action coming up soon. Hays is set to face off against their familiar foe Liberty Hill at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Meanwhile, Glenn will challenge rival Cedar Park at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
