Bangs came tearing into Friday's matchup with six straight wins (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 12.7 runs), and they left with even more momentum. They put the hurt on the Ballinger Bearcats with a sharp 18-8 victory. The result was nothing new for the Dragons, who have now won 14 contests by six runs or more so far this season.
The team relied heavily on Cheyenne Rush, who scored four runs and stole four bases while going 5-for-5. What's more, she posted two doubles, the most she's had since back in February. Another player making a difference was Julianna Etheridge, who scored a run and stole a base while getting on base in all four of her plate appearances.
Rush wasn't the only one making solid contact: Bangs kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 17 hits. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now got at least eight hits in seven consecutive games.
Bangs' win was their 13th straight at home dating back to last season, which pushed their record up to 19-6. The home victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 3.2 runs on average over those games. As for Ballinger, they are on a four-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 6-9.
Looking ahead, Bangs will square off against Cisco at 6:00 p.m. on Tuesday. The Loboes will roll in looking for their sixth straight win, something the Dragons surely won't give up without a fight. As for Ballinger, they will challenge Richland Springs at 5:00 p.m. on Monday. The Coyotes have struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed 12.5 runs per game on average), something the Bearcats will no doubt try to take advantage of.
