Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Simsboro). They put the hurt on the Southwood Cowboys with a sharp 19-1 win on Monday. The result was nothing new for the Tigers, who have now won 11 games by 12 runs or more so far this season.
Kennady King was a major factor no matter where she played. On the mound, she struck out six batters over three innings while giving up no earned runs off three hits (and not a single walk). Furthermore, she didn't allow a single walk, the first time she has blanked an opponent over her last six matches. She was also big at the plate, scoring two runs while going 1-for-2.
In other batting news, Kailee Hamilton was incredible, scoring two runs while getting on base in three of her four plate appearances. What's more, she posted three RBI, the most she's had since back in February. Dakota Powell was another key player, scoring three runs while getting on base in all three of her plate appearances.
Simsboro always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .710. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Southwood only posted an OBP of .182.
Simsboro has been performing well recently as they've won five of their last six contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 13-6 record this season. The victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.8 runs on average over those games. Southwood is on a 22-game losing streak (dating back to last season) that has dropped them down to 0-11.
Coming up, Simsboro will host Gibsland-Coleman at 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday. As for Southwood, they will venture away from home to square off against Pleasant Hill at 4:30 p.m. on Wednesday.
