While Stanton County put up plenty of runs on Tuesday, the same can't be said for Holcomb. The Trojans were the clear victors by a 17-0 margin over the Longhorns. Considering the Trojans have won eight matches by more than nine runs this season, Tuesday's blowout was nothing new.

Kaydence McCleary was a major factor while hitting and pitching. She looked comfortable on the mound, not allowing a single earned run and allowing only two hits while striking out nine over four innings pitched. She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't tossed less than seven strikeouts in four consecutive appearances. She was also big at the plate, going 2-for-4 with three RBI, two runs, and two doubles. Those three RBI gave her a new career-high.

In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Kynzi Fehringer, who went 2-for-4 with one home run, two runs, and one stolen base. She has been hot recently, having posted at least one home run the last four times she's played. Another player making a difference was Mia Miravete, who got on base in all four of her plate appearances with four runs and one stolen base.

Stanton County has been performing incredibly well recently as they've won six of their last seven contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 11-3 record this season. Those wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 13.6 runs over those games. As for Holcomb, they are on a 12-game losing streak (dating back to last season) that has dropped them down to 0-10.

Coming up, Stanton County will challenge Elkhart at 4:00 p.m. on Friday. The Trojans are facing the Wildcats at the right time seeing as the Wildcats are stuck on a six-game losing streak. As for Holcomb, they will look to defend their home field on May 1 against Southwestern Heights at 4:00 p.m.
