Winning always takes teamwork, but on Monday Larue Hicks stepped things up a notch to give Midland Valley the 'W'. Hicks was dialed in as she struck out six batters over seven innings while giving up just one earned (and one unearned) run off four hits (and not a single walk). She was up against Gilbert and has quite the history against that squad, as she also had a great game the last time she faced them back in March of 2025. Hicks has been consistent for a while: she hasn't given up more than two walks in ten consecutive appearances.
Looking ahead, Hicks and Midland Valley will head out on the road to face off against Aiken at 6:00 p.m. on Thursday. The Fighting Green Hornets are limping into the matchup having lost five straight at home. There's no doubt they're looking for a change of fortune, but will Hicks and the Mustangs have enough to stop it? Come back here after the game to get an analysis of the match and other softball content.
