Keith had already won two in a row (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 10.5 runs) and they went ahead and made it three on Tuesday. Everything went their way against the Johnson Eagles as they made off with a 21-3 win. The result was nothing new for the Bears, who have now won three matchups by 14 runs or more so far this season.

Janiya King and Audrey Lumpkin were major factors no matter where they played. Throwing, King pitched two innings while giving up no earned runs or hits. Meanwhile, Lumpkin struck out six batters over two innings while giving up just two earned runs off two hits (and only one walk). King has been nothing but reliable on the mound: she hasn't given up more than two hits in three consecutive appearances. At the plate, King got on base in all four of her plate appearances with one home run, nine stolen bases, and four runs, while Lumpkin got on base in all four of her plate appearances with three runs and one stolen base. That home run marked the first that King has launched this season.

In other batting news, Keith got a massive performance out of Taylor Tisdale, who got on base in all four of her plate appearances with one home run, six stolen bases, and three runs. Tisdale is on a roll when it comes to stolen bases, as she's now snagged at least one in each of the last four games she's played. The team also got some help courtesy of Rianna Satterwhite, who got on base in all four of her plate appearances with eight stolen bases and three runs.

Keith always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .816. That's the best OBP they've posted all season.

Keith's victory bumped their record up to 5-1. As for Johnson, they are on an 11-game losing streak (dating back to last season) that has dropped them down to 0-4.

We've got plenty of inter-region action coming up soon. Keith will face off against rival Ellwood Christian at 4:00 p.m. on Wednesday. Meanwhile, Johnson is set to take on their familiar foe University Charter at 4:30 p.m. on Tuesday.
