There's no place like home for Lindsay, who bounced back after a loss on the road on Tuesday. They were the clear victors by a 12-2 margin over the Nocona Indians on Thursday. Considering the Knights have won 14 matchups by more than five runs this season, Thursday's blowout was nothing new.

Emilie Goldsmith made a splash while hitting and pitching. She tossed two innings while giving up no earned runs or hits. She has been nothing but reliable on the mound: she hasn't given up a single earned run in four consecutive appearances. She was also big at the plate, going 1-for-3 with one home run.

In other batting news, Kylie Hielckert and Austin Henderson did most of the damage at the plate: Hielckert went 2-for-3 with one home run, three RBI, and two runs, while Henderson went a perfect 2-for-2 with two runs, one triple, and one stolen base. That's the most hits Henderson has posted since back in February. EmmaRae Cox was another key player, going 1-for-2 with three stolen bases and one run.

Lindsay was getting hits left and right and finished the game having posted a batting average of .417. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Nocona only posted a batting average of .222.

Lindsay is on a roll lately: they've won four of their last five games. That's provided a nice bump to their 15-9 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 3.0 runs on average over those games. As for Nocona, their record now sits at 15-9.

Looking ahead, Lindsay will head out on the road to square off against Holliday at 2:00 p.m. on Monday. Nocona does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
