Batesville extended their losing streak to nine on Tuesday, dropping their season record down to 4-15 in the process. They took a 9-4 hit to the loss column at the hands of the Nettleton Raiders. If the Pioneers were looking for revenge after losing 5-3 to the Raiders when the teams met back in May of 2023, then they'll just have to keep looking.
Shaylee Horton and Addyson Fisher stepped up to the plate in a big way. Horton went 1-for-4 with three stolen bases and one run, while Fisher went 2-for-3 with one stolen base and one double.
As for Nettleton, the win (which was their third in a row) raised their record to 6-14. The victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.3 runs on average over those games.
On Nettleton's side, Kennedy Massey spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered only one earned (and three unearned) runs on six hits. Massey has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't given up more than two walks in eight consecutive appearances.
On the hitting side, Nettleton let Sydney Huntsman and Jayla Smith run wild. Huntsman went 2-for-4 with three RBI, one triple, and one run, while Smith went a perfect 4-for-4 with two runs and two doubles. Those two doubles gave Smith a new career-high. The team also got some help courtesy of Avery Sample, who went 2-for-3 with two stolen bases and two runs.
As of now, neither Batesville nor Nettleton have any future games scheduled.
