Gibbs had already won five in a row (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 11.6 runs) and they went ahead and made it six on Tuesday. They came within a single run of losing the streak, but they secured a 7-6 W against the Farragut Admirals. This was a revenge game for the Eagles: when they faced off against the Admirals back in March, they had to take a 5-4 loss.
Lacey Keck spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered four earned (and two unearned) runs on 11 hits and racked up seven Ks. She has been consistent for a while: she hasn't given up more than two walks in nine consecutive appearances.
On the hitting side, the team relied heavily on Skylynne Luttrell, who went 2-for-4 with one home run and three RBI. Another player making a difference was Malyiah Smith, who went 2-for-4 with two runs, two doubles, and one stolen base.
Gibbs hit smart and finished the game with only one strikeout. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Farragut struck out seven times.
