Those victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.4 runs on average over those games. As for Navajo, their defeat dropped their record down to 2-4.

Looking ahead, Mangum will take on Leedey at 4:00 p.m. on Thursday. The two teams have allowed few runs on average (the Tigers 2.3, the Bison 1.5) so any runs scored will be well earned. Navajo does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
