Buhl hadn't done well against Kimberly recently (they were 2-7 in their previous nine matchups), but they didn't let the past get in their way on Tuesday. The Indians blew past the Bulldogs 10-3. The Indians might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won four contests by six runs or more this season.

Porter Higley was a major factor no matter where he played. He looked comfortable on the mound, striking out eight batters over 4.2 innings while giving up just two earned runs off six hits. He has been consistent recently: he hasn't given up more than two walks in four consecutive appearances. He was also solid in the batter's box, scoring a run and stealing a base while going 2-for-3.

In other batting news, Buhl let Remington Higley and Chase Craner run wild. Higley went 1-for-3 with one home run, three RBI, and two runs, while Craner scored three runs and stole two bases while getting on base in three of his five plate appearances. Craner also hit a double, marking his first of the season.

The win was the third in a row for Buhl, bringing their record up to 5-2. The victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.0 run on average over those games. As for Kimberly, their loss dropped their record down to 2-4.

Both squads are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. Buhl will take on South Fremont in a tournament on Friday. As for Kimberly, they will be taking part in a tournament against Snake River at 10:00 a.m. on Friday. The Panthers have struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed 10.14 runs per game on average), something the Bulldogs will no doubt try to take advantage of.
