Carrollton had lost 17 straight on the road dating back to last season, but on Saturday they dropped their record down to 0-15 to make it 18. They came up short against the Coleman Comets, falling 17-0. Having soared to a lofty 11 runs in the game before, the Cavaliers' shutout was a dramatic turnaround.
As for Coleman, they are on a roll lately: they've won six of their last eight games. That's provided a nice bump to their 10-15 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 10.9 runs over those games.
For Coleman's part, Isabelle Lewis was a major factor while hitting and pitching. On the mound, she struck out six batters over three innings while giving up no earned runs off one hit (and only one walk). Lewis was also solid in the batter's box, going 3-for-4 with three RBI and one run.
In other batting news, Coleman got a massive performance out of Kendall Allen, who got on base in three of her four plate appearances with four runs and one RBI. Those four runs gave Allen a new career-high. Elley Johnson also deserves some recognition as she snagged her first stolen base of the season.
