There's no place like home for Hesston, who bounced back after a loss on the road on Friday. They were the clear victors by an 11-1 margin over the Herington Railroaders on Tuesday. The Swathers might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won nine games by seven runs or more this season.

Hesston let Wendy Roth and Elyse Griffin run wild. Roth went 2-for-3 with two stolen bases, three runs, and two RBI, while Griffin went 3-for-4 with two doubles, one stolen base, and two RBI. That's the most stolen bases Roth has posted since back in April. Another player making a difference was Karman Carson, who got on base in all three of her plate appearances with one stolen base, two RBI, and one run.

Hesston hit smart and finished the game with only one strikeout. The team has now struck out at least five batters in 17 consecutive matches.

Hesston is on a roll lately: they've won ten of their last 13 contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 13-8 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 Herington, their loss was their eighth straight on the road, which dropped their record down to 0-8.

The teams didn't have to wait long for a rematch: Hesston beat the Railroaders by a score of 19-4 later that day.
