After having lost a blowout in their previous game against North Fort Myers, Mariner was happy to have turned things around on Monday. Everything went their way against the North Port Bobcats as they made off with a 7-0 victory. The result was nothing new for the Tritons, who have now won 11 games by six runs or more so far this season.

Gabi Winters was a major factor no matter where she played. On the mound, she kept things locked down with no earned runs or hits while striking out 18 over seven innings pitched. She has been consistent for a while: she hasn't tossed less than five strikeouts in 20 consecutive appearances. She was also big at the plate, going 2-for-3 with one run and one RBI.

In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Morgan Tucker, who went 2-for-4 with two triples, two runs, and one RBI. Rylie Moore was another key player, going 2-for-3 with three RBI, one run, and one double.

Mariner has been performing incredibly well recently as they've won eight of their last nine matches. That's provided a nice bump to their 16-5 record this season. Those wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.3 runs on average over those games. As for North Port, their loss dropped their record down to 9-8.

Both teams will have to hit the road in their upcoming games. Mariner will venture away from home to take on Immokalee at 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday. The Indians will roll in looking for their fourth straight victory, something the Tritons surely won't give up without a fight. As for North Port, they will head out to face off against Venice at 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday. The Indians' pitching crew has only allowed 2.8 runs per game this season, so the Bobcats' hitters will have their work cut out for them.
