Evart won the last time they faced Roscommon and things went their way on Tuesday too. The Wildcats put the hurt on the Bucks with a sharp 12-1 win. The Wildcats might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won nine contests by six runs or more this season.

Lucas Johnson was a major factor while hitting and pitching. On the mound, he struck out seven batters over 3.1 innings while giving up just one earned run off two hits (and only one walk). He has been consistent: he hasn't given up more than one earned run in six consecutive appearances. He was also solid in the batter's box, going 1-for-3 with two stolen bases and two runs.

In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Dryson Derscheid, who went a perfect 2-for-2 with four stolen bases and three runs. Those four stolen bases gave him a new career-high. Aidan Anderson was another key player, earning two RBI, one run, and two stolen bases.

Evart has been performing well recently as they've won ten of their last 12 games. That's provided a nice bump to their 15-6-1 record this season. The victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 3.5 runs on average over those games. As for Roscommon, they are on a six-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 1-8.

Coming up, Evart will be playing at home against Morley Stanwood at 4:15 p.m. on Thursday. The Wildcats are facing the Mohawks at the right time seeing as the Mohawks are stuck on a three-game losing streak. Roscommon does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
