Considering the Trojans have won five matchups by more than five runs this season, Tuesday's blowout was nothing new.

She has been consistent: she hasn't given up more than two walks in five consecutive appearances.

Edwards got on base in three of her four plate appearances with one stolen base, two RBI, and one run, while Brooks went 2-for-3 with two RBI, one run, and one double. That stolen base was Edwards' first of the season. Another player making a difference was Roxy Hawkins, who got on base in three of her four plate appearances with two runs, one stolen base, and one RBI.

The win made it two in a row for Caney Valley and bumps their season record up to 7-3. Those victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered a grand total of 3 runs in those games. As for Nowata, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 1-8.

Looking ahead, Caney Valley will welcome Sperry at 9:00 a.m. on Thursday. The Pirates' pitching crew has only allowed 1.8 runs per game this season, so the Trojans' hitters will have their work cut out for them. As for Nowata, they will venture away from home to challenge Dewey at 9:00 a.m. on Friday. The Ironmen's pitchers better be ready for this one: the Bulldoggers have averaged an impressive 7.6 runs per game this season.
