Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Whitehouse). They put the hurt on the Nacogdoches Dragons with a sharp 22-3 win on Tuesday. Considering the Wildcats have won 11 games by more than nine runs this season, Tuesday's blowout was nothing new.
Taylor Morris made a splash no matter where she played. On the mound, she pitched three innings while giving up just two earned (and one unearned) runs off two hits. Morris was also solid in the batter's box, going 2-for-3 with four RBI.
In other batting news, Whitehouse got a massive performance out of Shilee Yutterman, who went a perfect 3-for-3 with one home run, four RBI, and two runs. Those four RBI gave Yutterman a new career-high. Kyndal Morris was another key player, going a perfect 3-for-3 with four RBI, two runs, and one double.
Whitehouse always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .724. That's the best OBP they've posted all season.
Whitehouse's victory was their seventh straight at home, which pushed their record up to 15-5. Those victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.4 runs on average over those games. As for Nacogdoches, they are on a six-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 3-13.
Looking ahead, a feisty cat fight will be fought as Whitehouse Wildcats challenge Tyler Lions at 1:00 p.m. on Friday. Tyler has struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed 17.06 runs per game on average), something Whitehouse will no doubt try to take advantage of. As for Nacogdoches, they will host Spring Hill at 6:30 p.m. on Friday. Nacogdoches has given up an average of 11.4 runs per game this season, so hopefully the team got some pitching drills in this week.
