Checotah fought the good fight in their extra-innings contest against Victory Christian on Monday but wound up with a less-than-desirable result. They fell just short of the Conquerors by a score of 5-3. The defeat continues a trend for the Wildcats in their meetings with the Conquerors: they've now lost five in a row.
For Victory Christian's part, Bandit Thomas tossed a big game, striking out seven batters over seven innings while giving up just one earned (and two unearned) runs off five hits (and not a single walk). Thomas has been nothing but reliable on the mound: he hasn't given up more than one earned run any time he's pitched this season.
At the plate, Victory Christian's win was truly a team effort as five different players contributed at least one hit. One of them was Cash Veitch, who went 1-for-3 with one stolen base and one RBI. Colin McAvoy also deserves some recognition as he launched his first home run of the season.
Victory Christian has been performing well recently as they've won four of their last five games. That's provided a nice bump to their 5-3 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 6.6 runs over those games. Checotah's loss dropped their record down to 3-12.
