Shallowater came out on top against Floydada on Saturday thanks in part to the team's impressive five-run sixth inning. The Mustangs skirted past the Whirlwinds 5-3. That's more bragging rights for the Mustangs, who also won the pair's last head-to-head.
Gracie Banks was a major factor no matter where she played. She struck out ten batters over five innings while giving up just one earned (and two unearned) runs off three hits (and not a single walk). Banks was also solid in the batter's box, going 2-for-3 with one run and one double.
In other batting news, Phoenix Navejar was excellent, going 1-for-3 with one home run and two RBI. That's the most RBI she has posted since back in March of 2025.
Shallowater has started the season off flawlessly and has a 2-0 record to show for it.
