After only two runs in their last matchup, Opp made sure to put some runs up on the board against Carroll on Tuesday. The Bobcats put the hurt on the Eagles with a sharp 11-2 victory. The result was nothing new for the Bobcats, who have now won 14 games by seven runs or more so far this season.

Gradyn Lunsford looked comfortable as she tossed four innings while giving up just one earned (and one unearned) run off three hits.

On the hitting side, Opp let Taylor Adams and Crislyn Birge run wild. Adams scored two runs and stole a base while going 1-for-2, while Birge scored two runs and stole a base while going 3-for-3. That's the most hits Birge has posted since back in March. McKenzie Henderson was another key player, scoring a run and stealing a base while going 1-for-1.

Opp always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .519. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Carroll only posted an OBP of .200.

The win (which was Opp's fourth in a row) raised their record to 20-8. The victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 10.3 runs over those games. As for Carroll, they have traveled a rocky road recently, having lost five of their last six contests. That's put a noticeable dent in their 11-11-1 record this season.

Opp and Carroll could both be facing uphill battles in their next games considering their disadvantage in the MaxPreps Alabama Rankings. The Bobcats (ranked 57th) will meet Enterprise (ranked seventh) at 4:30 p.m. on Thursday. Meanwhile, Carroll will take on Headland at 4:30 p.m. on Thursday with a big rank disadvantage (257 vs. 113).
