Carroll made up a huge gap compared to their last game against Sheridan, but they still couldn't quite topple them. The Cougars fell just short of the Blackhawks by a score of 4-2 on Wednesday. Having soared to a lofty 14 runs in the game before, the Cougars couldn't push the score so high this time.
Xavier Williams was cooking despite his team's loss, going a perfect 3-for-3 with one stolen base, one run, and one double.
Meanwhile, Rossville got the win against Sheridan on Tuesday by a conclusive 10-1. Considering the Hornets have won nine contests by more than six runs this season, Tuesday's blowout was nothing new.
Rossville let AJ Kelley and Evan Mcdonald run wild. Kelley went a perfect 3-for-3 with two stolen bases, two runs, and two RBI, while Mcdonald went 3-for-4 with two runs, one stolen base, and two RBI. Those two stolen bases gave Kelley a new career-high. Ashton Abbott was another key player, getting on base in two of his five plate appearances with two stolen bases and one run.

The victory made it two in a row for Rossville and bumps their season record up to 13-4. Those wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 8.5 runs over those games. As for Carroll, their loss dropped their record down to 4-12.
The pitchers for both teams better look sharp on Thursday as neither team is afraid to steal. Carroll has been swiping bases left and right this season, having averaged 2.7 stolen bases per game. However, it's not like Rossville struggles in that department as they've been averaging an even more impressive 2.9 stolen bases. The only question left is which team can snag more.
