After only one run in their last contest, Hackberry made sure to put some runs up on the board against Starks on Tuesday. The Mustangs were the clear victors by a 14-2 margin over the Panthers. The result was nothing new for the Mustangs, who have now won eight matchups by eight runs or more so far this season.

Madden Spicer made a big impact no matter where he played. On the mound, he struck out 13 batters over six innings while giving up just two earned runs off five hits (and only one walk). That's the most strikeouts he has posted since back in March. He was also solid in the batter's box, getting on base in three of his five plate appearances with one double and one RBI.

In other batting news, Hackberry got a massive performance out of Kaston Moore, who went 3-for-5 with five RBI, one run, and one double. Those five RBI gave Moore a new career-high. Another player making a difference was Lane Gray, who scored three runs and stole two bases while getting on base in four of his five plate appearances.

Hackberry always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .585. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Starks only posted an OBP of .333.

Hackberry is on a roll lately: they've won six of their last eight games. That's provided a massive bump to their 8-8 record this season. The victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 11.0 runs over those games. As for Starks, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 5-11.

Hackberry will have a chance to go back-to-back against the Panthers: the pair's next game is a rematch scheduled at 5:30 p.m. on Thursday.
