Tullahoma and Marshall County are an even 5-5 against one another since April of 2022, but likely not for long. The Wildcats will be playing in front of their home fans against the Tigers at 6:00 p.m. on Tuesday. The teams are on pretty different trajectories at the moment (Tullahoma has ten straight victories, Marshall County has three straight defeats), but none of that matters once you're on the field.
Tullahoma's pitching crew heads into the matchup hoping to repeat the dominance they displayed on Thursday. They put the hurt on Franklin County with a sharp 15-0 win. Considering the Wildcats have won seven contests by more than six runs this season, Thursday's blowout was nothing new.
The result came thanks to Amaya Sharp's shutout, as she gave up just two hits.
At the plate, Tullahoma got a massive performance out of Madison Goad, who went 3-for-4 with one home run, two stolen bases, and three RBI. That's the most stolen bases Goad has posted since back in May of 2024. The team also got some help courtesy of Kylee Holt, who went 3-for-5 with one home run, five RBI, and two runs.
Goad wasn't the only one making solid contact: Tullahoma kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 14 hits. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now got at least eight hits in ten consecutive games.
Meanwhile, it was a proper cat-fight when Marshall County challenged Giles County on Monday. The Tigers fell just short of the Bobcats by a score of 9-8.
Madison Mason was cooking despite her team's loss, scoring three runs and stealing three bases while going 2-for-3. Another player making a difference was Riah Byrd, who scored three runs and stole two bases.
Tullahoma pushed their record up to 11-5 with the victory, which was their seventh straight on the road. Those road wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 3.6 runs on average over those games. As for Marshall County, their loss dropped their record down to 4-7.
Marshall County's pitching crew has a crucial task ahead of them: Tullahoma has been making plenty of contact this season, having averaged 10.1 hits per game. It's a different story for Marshall County, though, as they've been averaging 9.8 hits. Given Tullahoma's sizable advantage in that area, the Tigers will need to find a way to close that gap.
Tullahoma beat Marshall County 9-5 when the teams last played back in March. Will the Wildcats repeat their success, or do the Tigers have a new game plan this time around? We'll find out soon enough.
