It was a proper cat-fight when King duked it out with Humble on Tuesday. The Panthers lost 14-5 to the Wildcats.
Malayah Goodman and Haley Jones stepped up to the plate in a big way. Goodman went 2-for-3 with one run and one RBI, while Jones went 2-for-3 with one stolen base and one run.
Meanwhile, Atascocita entered their tilt with Channelview on Tuesday with two consecutive wins but they'll enter their next game with three. They blew past the Falcons 9-1. The Eagles might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won ten contests by eight runs or more this season.
Abigail Ruiz spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered a run (which was unearned) on three hits. She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't given up more than one walk in seven consecutive appearances.
At the plate, Atascocita got a massive performance out of Cailynn Ruzick, who went 2-for-3 with one home run, three RBI, and one stolen base. That's the most RBI Ruzick has posted since back in February. Marigny Thomas was another key player, going 1-for-3 with one home run and three RBI.
Atascocita hit smart and finished the game with only two strikeouts. The team has now struck out at least two batters in three consecutive games.
Atascocita's victory bumped their record up to 16-7. As for King, their defeat dropped their record down to 2-22.
