Kali Clark and Shyann Banasky did most of the damage at the plate: Clark went 2-for-3 with three RBI, a triple, and a run, while Banasky went 2-for-4 with a home run and two RBI. Another player making a difference was Brooklynn Fogg, who scored a run and stole two bases while going 1-for-3.
Davis has been performing incredibly well recently as they've won eight of their last nine contests, which provided a nice bump to their 16-4 record this season. As for Bingham, their win bumped their record up to 16-5-1.
Tuesday's game will be a test for both team's pitchers. Davis hasn't had any issues making contact this season, having earned a batting average of .361. However, it's not like Bingham struggles in that department as they've averaged .376. With both teams so capable at the plate, fans should be ready for an impressive hitting performance.
Davis might still be hurting after the 11-0 defeat they got from Bingham in their previous meeting back in May of 2023. Thankfully for Davis, Shelbee Jones (who didn't allow a single earned run and only one hit while striking out 12 over five innings pitched) won't be suiting up this time.
