Panguitch was not the first on the board on Tuesday, but they got there more often. Everything went their way against the Wayne Badgers as they made off with a 20-8 victory. Considering the Bobcats have won eight matchups by more than nine runs this season, Tuesday's blowout was nothing new.

Brooklyn Harland made a big impact no matter where she played. On the mound, she struck out eight batters over seven innings while giving up five earned (and three unearned) runs off six hits. Those eight strikeouts gave her a new career-high. She was also solid in the batter's box, scoring two runs and stealing a base while going 2-for-6.

In other batting news, Panguitch got a massive performance out of Olivia Jessop, who scored four runs and stole four bases while going 2-for-4. Jessop is on a roll when it comes to stolen bases, as she's now snagged at least one in each of the last six games she's played. Another player making a difference was Lillee Torgerson, who went 3-for-5 with four RBI, two runs, and two doubles.

Panguitch always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .551. They are a perfect 8-0 when they post an OBP of .513 or better.

The win made it two in a row for Panguitch and bumps their season record up to 8-3. The victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered a grand total of 8 runs in those games. As for Wayne, they have traveled a rocky road recently, having lost six of their last eight games. That's put a noticeable dent in their 5-11 record this season.

Panguitch will square off against Milford at 3:30 p.m. on Wednesday. Wayne will be paying especially close attention to the Bobcats' contest: after the Bobcats faces off against the Tigers, they'll take on Wayne again at 3:30 p.m. on Friday.
