Mitchell had to skate by with only a one-run margin when they last took the field, which might have inspired the six-run drubbing they dealt Springstead on Monday. The Mustangs were the clear victors by an 11-5 margin over the Eagles. The result was nothing new for the Mustangs, who have now won 12 games by six runs or more so far this season.

Savannah Toukatly was a major factor while hitting and pitching. She pitched five innings while giving up three earned runs off five hits. She has been consistent for a while: she hasn't given up more than two walks in 16 consecutive appearances. She was also stellar in the batter's box, going 4-for-5 with six RBI, two runs, and one triple. Those four hits gave her a new career-high.

In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Mya Brown, who went a perfect 3-for-3 with three runs. That's the most hits she has posted since back in March. Another player making a difference was Madyson Whitaker, who went 2-for-4 with two runs, one double, and one RBI.

The win (which was Mitchell's fifth in a row) raised their record to 19-5. The victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.4 runs on average over those games. As for Springstead, their defeat dropped their record down to 13-5.

Both teams will have to hit the road in their upcoming games. Mitchell will take on Nature Coast Tech at 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday. The Mustangs' pitchers better be ready for this one: the Sharks have averaged an impressive 7.3 runs per game this season. As for Springstead, they will challenge Citrus at 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday. The Eagles' pitchers better be ready for this one: the Hurricanes have averaged an impressive 6.6 runs per game this season.
