Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Halls). They never let the Campbell County Cougars get on the board and left with a 15-0 victory on Tuesday. The Red Devils might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won ten games by seven runs or more this season.

Emery Bales was a major factor while hitting and pitching. She struck out nine batters over three innings while giving up no earned runs or hits (and not a single walk). She has been nothing but reliable on the mound: she hasn't given up more than two walks in 12 consecutive appearances. She was also stellar in the batter's box, going a perfect 3-for-3 with three doubles and three RBI. Those three doubles gave her a new career-high.

In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Harper Bales, who went a perfect 4-for-4 with three runs, four RBI, and two doubles. That's the most RBI she has posted since back in April of 2024. Another player making a difference was Mackenzie Baker, who scored a run while going 2-for-2.

Halls always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .690. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Campbell County only posted an OBP of .000.

Halls' win was their ninth straight on the road dating back to last season, which pushed their record up to 17-3-1. Those road victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 9.1 runs over those games. As for Campbell County, they have been struggling recently as they've lost eight of their last nine contests. That's put a noticeable dent in their 4-10 record this season.

Both teams are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. Halls will take on Alcoa at 6:00 p.m. on Wednesday. The two teams have allowed few runs on average (the Red Devils 1, the Tornadoes 2.5) so any runs scored will be well earned. As for Campbell County, they will host Lemont at 6:00 p.m. on Thursday.
