Nettleton came tearing into Monday's match with six straight wins (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 6.7 runs), and they left with even more momentum. Their pitcher stepped up to hand Hatley an 11-0 shutout. Nettleton might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won 13 games by six runs or more this season.
Not much got past Bailey Payne, who gave up just two hits to keep Hatley off the board. Payne has been nothing but reliable on the mound: she hasn't given up more than two walks in eight consecutive appearances.
At the plate, Kennice Finnie was a standout: she scored a run and stole a base while going 3-for-5. That's the most hits she has posted since back in March of 2024. The team also got some help courtesy of Zyah Gunter, who scored a run while going 2-for-3.
Finnie wasn't the only one making solid contact: Nettleton kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 12 hits. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Hatley only managed two hits.
Nettleton's victory was their 16th straight on the road dating back to last season, which pushed their record up to 25-2-1. The road wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.5 runs on average over those games. As for Hatley, they have traveled a rocky road recently, having lost three of their last four contests. That's put a noticeable dent in their 15-8 record this season.
Nettleton will take on Pontotoc at 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday. The Tigers' pitchers better be ready for this one: the Warriors have averaged an impressive 7.3 runs per game this season. Hatley does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
