Kouts had already won three in a row (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 10.7 runs) and they went ahead and made it four on Saturday. They put the hurt on the South Central Satellites with a sharp 13-2 win. Considering the Mustangs & Fillies have won 11 matches by more than eight runs this season, Saturday's blowout was nothing new.

Landon Garrett and Billy Miller were major factors while hitting and pitching. Throwing, Garrett pitched one inning while giving up no earned runs or hits. Meanwhile, Miller struck out 11 batters over five innings while giving up just one earned (and one unearned) run off five hits. He has been consistent: he hasn't given up more than one earned run in seven consecutive appearances. At bat, Garrett went 2-for-4 with two stolen bases, two runs, and one RBI, while Miller went 2-for-4 with one home run, three runs, and three RBI. That's the most stolen bases Garrett has posted since back in April.

In other batting news, Reid Estill was incredible, going 3-for-4 with one home run, two runs, and one stolen base. That's the most hits he has posted since back in April of 2024. The team also got some help courtesy of Eli Harper, who got on base in two of his four plate appearances with two runs.

Kouts' victory was their third straight on the road, which pushed their record up to 15-3. Those road wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 13.0 runs over those games. As for South Central, they have traveled a rocky road recently, having lost three of their last four games. That's put a noticeable dent in their 5-12 record this season.

Kouts will head out to take on Winamac at 4:30 p.m. on Monday. As for South Central, they will square off against Michigan City at 4:30 p.m. on Monday. The Wolves have struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed 10.85 runs per game on average), something the Satellites will no doubt try to take advantage of.
