Kendrick is on a roll when it comes to stolen bases, as she's now snagged at least one in each of the last nine games she's played. Another player making a difference was Valeria Ortega, who got on base in three of her five plate appearances with two runs, two RBI, and one double.

Stanton County pushed their record up to 13-3 with the win, which was their seventh straight on the road. The road victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 3.3 runs on average over those games. As for Elkhart, they are on an eight-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 2-9-1.

Coming up, Stanton County will venture away from home to square off against Hugoton at 4:00 p.m. on Tuesday. The Eagles have struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed 12.17 runs per game on average), something the Trojans will no doubt try to take advantage of. As for Elkhart, they will be playing in front of their home fans against Southwestern Heights at 4:00 p.m. on Tuesday. The Mustangs' pitching crew has only allowed 3.8 runs per game this season, so the Wildcats' hitters will have their work cut out for them.
