Cocke County won against Carter on Tuesday with 11 runs and they decided to stick to that run total again on Wednesday. The Fighting Cocks beat the Seymour Eagles by the very same score they won with in their prior game: 11-1. Considering the Fighting Cocks have won 24 matches by more than five runs this season, Wednesday's blowout was nothing new.
Hailee Hartsell made a big impact no matter where she played. She struck out seven batters over six innings while giving up just one earned run off two hits (and not a single walk). She has been nothing but reliable on the mound: she hasn't given up more than two walks in 21 consecutive appearances. She was also solid in the batter's box, going 1-for-3 with one stolen base and two RBI.
In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Adisen Mcnealy, who went a perfect 3-for-3 with three stolen bases, two runs, and one RBI. That's the most stolen bases she has posted since back in April. Another player making a difference was Chloe Niethammer, who went 2-for-3 with two RBI and one run.
Cocke County hit smart and finished the game with only one strikeout. The team has now struck out at least one batters in four consecutive games.
Cocke County is on a roll lately: they've won ten of their last 11 contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 28-4-1 record this season.

As for Seymour, they have traveled a rocky road recently, having lost eight of their last nine matchups. That's put a noticeable dent in their 7-15 record this season.
