Independence's rock-solid pitcher showed up for the team's fourth consecutive shutout on Tuesday. Their pitcher stepped up to hand the Trinity Trojans a 17-0 shutout. The win continues a trend for the Blue Devils in their matchups with the Trojans: they've now won nine in a row.

Independence got a massive performance out of Lila Manfredonia, who went a perfect 3-for-3 with five RBI, two runs, and one triple. The team also got some help courtesy of Paige Priebe, who got on base in all three of her plate appearances with two stolen bases, three runs, and one double.

Independence hit smart and finished the game with only two strikeouts. The team has now struck out at least five batters in seven consecutive games.

Independence pushed their record up to 17-3 with the victory, which was their fifth straight on the road. Those road wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 0.4 runs on average over those games. As for Trinity, they are on a nine-game losing streak (dating back to last season) that has dropped them down to 0-6.

Coming up, Independence will take on Harding in a tournament on Wednesday. The Skippers have struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed 17.38 runs per game on average), something the Blue Devils will no doubt try to take advantage of. Trinity does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
