Everything went their way against the St. Mary's Knights as they made off with an 11-2 win. The result was nothing new for the Rattlers, who have now won ten matchups by seven runs or more so far this season.

At the plate, Sophia Salvidar was incredible, scoring two runs and stealing a base while going 3-for-5. Kyleigh Nekula was another key player, scoring a run and stealing a base while going 2-for-5.

Crismon kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 14 hits. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now got at least 13 hits in three consecutive contests.

Crismon's record is now 14-6. As for St. Mary's, they now have a losing record of 9-10.

Looking ahead, Crismon will take on Poston Butte at 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday. The Rattlers' pitchers better be ready for this one: the Broncos have averaged an impressive 12.3 runs per game this season. As for St. Mary's, they will challenge Mesquite at 6:00 p.m. on Tuesday. The Wildcats have struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed 7.92 runs per game on average), something the Knights will no doubt try to take advantage of.
