Cannon extended their winning streak to ten on Tuesday, bumping them up to 10-3. Their pitcher stepped up to hand the Charlotte Christian Knights a 3-0 shutout. For the Cougars, this counts as revenge for the 13-11 victory the Knights walked away with the last time they faced one another back in May of 2025.

Addie Hartz was a major factor no matter where she played. On the mound, she didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only two hits while striking out nine over seven innings pitched. Hartz was also big at the plate, earning one run and two stolen bases. That's the most stolen bases she has posted since back in May of 2025.

Hartz wasn't the only one making solid contact as two players wound up with at least one hit. One of them was Clark Hudson, who went 1-for-3 with one double. That double marked the first that Hudson has hit this season.

As for Charlotte Christian, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 7-4. The contest marked the first time this season in which they were not able to get on the board.

On Charlotte Christian's side, Morgan Banks spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered three runs (all of which were unearned) on two hits and racked up six Ks. Banks has been consistent for a while: she hasn't tossed less than six strikeouts any time she's pitched this season.

Both squads are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. Cannon will take on West Wilkes at 5:00 p.m. on Wednesday. The Blackhawks' pitching crew has only allowed 1.5 runs per game this season, so the Cougars' hitters will have their work cut out for them. As for Charlotte Christian, they will face off against Charlotte Latin at 4:30 p.m. on Thursday.
