Great Bend had already won seven in a row (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 7.1 runs) and they went ahead and made it eight on Thursday. They put the hurt on the Newton Railroaders with a sharp 11-1 victory. The result was nothing new for the Panthers, who have now won 13 matches by six runs or more so far this season.
Chayla Prendergast spent all six innings played on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered only one earned run on six hits.
On the hitting side, Callie Umphres was a standout: she went 2-for-4 with one home run, five RBI, and one double. Those five RBI gave her a new career-high. Katherine Mazouch was another key player, going 2-for-4 with one home run, two runs, and one double.
They weren't the only ones making solid contact: Great Bend kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 14 hits. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now got at least nine hits in eight consecutive games.
Great Bend's win was their 12th straight at home dating back to last season, which pushed their record up to 19-3. The home victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.3 runs on average over those games. As for Newton, they now have a losing record of 1-2.
Great Bend will have a chance to go back-to-back against the Railroaders: the pair will be back at it again later today.
