What's more, she posted three RBI, the most she's had since back in April of 2024. The team also got some help courtesy of Brady Sanders, who went 2-for-4 with one home run, three RBI, and two runs.

Kingman Academy is on a roll lately: they've won ten of their last 11 contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 17-4-1 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.4 runs on average over those games. As for Wickenburg, with the loss, they broke their three-game winning streak and moved their record to 10-10.
