Nitro's game on Monday was a loss, but they didn't let that memory haunt them on Tuesday. They walked away with a 6-3 win over the Ripley Vikings. This was a revenge game for the Wildcats: when they faced off against the Vikings back in March, they had to take a 15-7 defeat.

McKenzie Hyatt spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered only one earned (and two unearned) runs on six hits.

On the hitting side, the team relied heavily on Karley Evans, who went 2-for-4 with two runs and one stolen base. The team also got some help courtesy of Torrance Nutter, who went 1-for-3 with two runs and one stolen base.

Nitro hit smart and finished the game with only two strikeouts. The team has now struck out at least four batters in eight consecutive matches.

Nitro's record now sits at 11-15. As for Ripley, they have been struggling recently as they've lost seven of their last eight contests. That's put a noticeable dent in their 5-18 record this season.

Nitro wasted no time getting back out on the field and has already played their next game, an 11-1 loss against Winfield on the 1st. Ripley has also already played their next match (against Roane County), but no score has been uploaded at the time of writing.
