North Callaway put their dominant pitchers on display in the team's third consecutive shutout on Wednesday. They didn't even let the Mark Twain Tigers on the board, marking the Thunderbirds' second-straight 10-0 shutout. Considering the Thunderbirds have won eight matchups by more than six runs this season, Wednesday's blowout was nothing new.

The team relied heavily on Keaton Bell, who went a perfect 3-for-3 with one home run, three runs, and four RBI. That's the most hits he has posted since back in May of 2024. The team also got some help courtesy of Coltyn O'Neal, who got on base in three of his four plate appearances with four stolen bases, two runs, and one double.

North Callaway always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .529. The team's really been improving in that area: they've now improved their OBP total in three consecutive games.

North Callaway's win was their seventh straight on the road, which pushed their record up to 11-1. Those road victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.1 runs on average over those games. As for Mark Twain, they are on a 13-game losing streak (dating back to last season) that has dropped them down to 0-12.

Coming up, North Callaway will welcome Montgomery County at 5:00 p.m. on Thursday. The two teams have allowed few runs on average (the Thunderbirds 2.2, the Wildcats 3.1) so any runs scored will be well earned. As for Mark Twain, they will head out to take on Wellsville-Middletown at 5:00 p.m. on Thursday.
