Tipton Christian Academy had lost four straight at home, but on Monday they dropped their record down to 9-19 to make it five. They might be feeling deja-vu: they lost 10-7 to the Halls Tigers, which was the same score (and result) they got the week prior. Unfortunately, that's the third time they've come up short against the Tigers this season, with their most recent defeat being a 10-7 loss on Monday.
As for Halls, they are on a roll lately: they've won 14 of their last 16 games. That's provided a nice bump to their 23-10 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 4.0 runs on average over those games.
For Halls' part, Jackson Booker was a major factor while hitting and pitching. He tossed 1.1 innings while giving up no earned runs off one hit. Booker has been consistent recently: he hasn't given up more than two walks in four consecutive appearances. He was also big at the plate, getting on base in four of his five plate appearances with two RBI and one double.
