After having lost a blowout in their previous game against Mangham, Sumner was happy to have turned things around on Monday. Their pitcher stepped up to hand the Salmen Spartans a 20-0 shutout. The Cowboys might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won ten matchups by seven runs or more this season.

Bre'Leigh Bryant was a major factor no matter where she played. She struck out seven batters over three innings while giving up no earned runs or hits (and not a single walk). Those seven strikeouts gave her a new career-high. She was also big at the plate, earning three runs.

In other batting news, Montana Kirkland was a standout: she fired off two home runs, three runs, and four RBI while going 2-for-2. Another player making a difference was Kayleigh Brumfield, who fired off two home runs and four RBI while going 2-for-2.

Sumner always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .852. That's the best OBP they've posted all season.

Sumner pushed their record up to 11-11 with the victory, which was their fourth straight at home. Those home wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.3 runs on average over those games. As for Salmen, they are on a 17-game losing streak (dating back to last season) that has dropped them down to 0-15.

Looking ahead, Sumner will host Bogalusa at 5:00 p.m. on Tuesday. The Lumberjacks have struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed 18 runs per game on average), something the Cowboys will no doubt try to take advantage of. As for Salmen, they will face off against Northshore at 5:00 p.m. on Thursday.
