After having lost a blowout in their previous game against Lindsay, Nocona was happy to have turned things around on Monday. Their pitcher stepped up to hand the Era Hornets a 16-0 shutout. The result was nothing new for the Indians, who have now won ten matchups by six runs or more so far this season.

Reagan Phipps made a splash no matter where she played. She didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only one hit while striking out seven over four innings pitched. Phipps was even better at the plate, scoring four runs and stealing four bases while getting on base in all four of her plate appearances. Those four runs gave her a new career-high.

In other batting news, Heidi Atteberry was a standout: she went 1-for-2 with two runs, one triple, and one stolen base. That triple was her first of the season. The team also got some help courtesy of Evelyn Marquez, who scored two runs and stole two bases while going 1-for-2.

Nocona always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .607. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Era only posted an OBP of .188.

Nocona has been performing incredibly well recently as they've won 13 of their last 15 contests. That's provided a massive bump to their 13-7 record this season. The victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 14.6 runs over those games. As for Era, their defeat was their fourth straight on the road, which dropped their record down to 3-15.

Coming up, Nocona will venture away from home to take on Muenster at 5:00 p.m. on Tuesday. The Hornets will roll in looking for their 11th straight win, something the Indians surely won't give up without a fight. As for Era, they will host Chico at 5:00 p.m. on Tuesday.
