Triton Central won the last time they faced Indianapolis Cardinal Ritter and things went their way on Tuesday too. The Tigers were the clear victors by a 15-4 margin over the Raiders. Considering the Tigers have won ten contests by more than seven runs this season, Tuesday's blowout was nothing new.

On the hitting side, Triton Central got a massive performance out of Ashlyn Hittle, who fired off two home runs, three RBI, and one stolen base while getting on base in four of her five plate appearances. That's the most RBI Hittle has posted over her last 12 games. Makinah Noel was another key player, going a perfect 3-for-3 with one home run, two runs, and one stolen base.

Triton Central always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .605. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Indianapolis Cardinal Ritter only posted an OBP of .385.

Triton Central pushed their record up to 15-2 with the win, which was their fourth straight on the road. The road victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 14.0 runs over those games. As for Indianapolis Cardinal Ritter, with the defeat, they broke their three-game winning streak and moved their record to 7-11.

Both squads are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. Triton Central will host Speedway at 5:30 p.m. on Wednesday.
