Calallen had already won eight in a row (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 10.4 runs) and they went ahead and made it nine on Tuesday. They put the hurt on the King Brahmas with a sharp 16-0 victory. Considering the Wildcats have won 14 games by more than six runs this season, Tuesday's blowout was nothing new.

Jordyn Thibodeaux made a splash while hitting and pitching. On the mound, she kept things locked down with no earned runs or hits while striking out 14 over five innings pitched. She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't given up more than one earned run in nine consecutive appearances. She was also big at the plate, going 1-for-3 with one triple.

In other batting news, Calallen let Braelyn Bailey and Kaylie Lopez run wild. Bailey went a perfect 4-for-4 with one home run, five RBI, and two runs, while Lopez went 3-for-4 with one home run, four RBI, and two runs. Those four RBI gave Lopez a new career-high. Kris Leal was another key player, scoring two runs and stealing a base while going 1-for-3.

Calallen always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .556. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as King only posted an OBP of .000.

Calallen's win was their sixth straight on the road, which pushed their record up to 21-4. The road victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 0.5 runs on average over those games. As for King, they are on a five-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 11-16.
