Nettleton never got on the board in their matchup on Monday, but that sure wasn't the case in their game against Baldwyn on Tuesday. They put the hurt on the Bearcats with a sharp 14-2 victory. The Tigers might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won 11 matchups by ten runs or more this season.

Ace Carroll and Owen Roebuck were major factors no matter where they played. On the mound, Carroll pitched two innings while giving up no earned runs off one hit. Meanwhile, Roebuck struck out eight batters over five innings while giving up just one earned run off two hits. That's the most strikeouts he has posted since back in February. At the plate, Carroll got on base in three of his five plate appearances with one home run, while Roebuck went 3-for-5 with three RBI, two runs, and one stolen base. That home run was Carroll's first of the season.

In other batting news, the team relied heavily on JR Williams, who fired off two home runs, three runs, and three RBI while getting on base in four of his five plate appearances. Those two home runs gave him a new career-high. Another player making a difference was Spencer Holland, who got on base in four of his five plate appearances with three runs and one stolen base.

Nettleton kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 14 hits. That's a new trend for them: they were averaging 5.2 hits per game earlier this season, but in their last 15 games they've averaged 12.2.

Nettleton is on a roll lately: they've won eight of their last nine contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 16-5 record this season. Those wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 12.8 runs over those games. As for Baldwyn, they are on a three-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 9-11-1.

Looking ahead, Nettleton will challenge Columbus at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday. The Falcons have struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed 13.63 runs per game on average), something the Tigers will no doubt try to take advantage of. As for Baldwyn, they will face off against Tishomingo County at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday.
