Reagan Swaney was cooking despite her team's loss, going 2-for-3 with one home run, two runs, and one double. The team also got some help courtesy of Kylie Hielckert, who went 2-for-4 with one triple, one run, and one RBI.
Nocona is on a roll lately: they've won 12 of their last 13 matchups. That's provided a massive bump to their 12-6 record this season. The victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 15.5 runs over those games. Lindsay's defeat was their first in the district, dropping their district record down to 5-1 and their overall record down to 11-8.
Monday's contest will be a test for both teams' pitchers. Nocona hasn't had any issues making contact this season, having earned a batting average of .430. However, it's not like Lindsay struggles in that department as they've averaged .346. With both teams so capable at the plate, fans should be ready for an impressive hitting performance.
