Poquoson waltzed into their matchup on Tuesday with five straight wins... but they left with six. They blew past the Bruton Panthers 21-2. That's the second time they've managed to beat them this season, as they also won 21-4 back in April.
Natalie Klochak looked comfortable as she tossed four innings while giving up just one earned (and one unearned) run off two hits. She has been nothing but reliable on the mound: she hasn't given up more than two walks in three consecutive appearances.
On the hitting side, Tinley Goodson was incredible, going a perfect 3-for-3 with three runs, one triple, and one stolen base. Ella Schriner also deserves some recognition as she hit her first double of the season.
Poquoson always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .639. The last time their OBP was this high was back in April.

Those home wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 14.5 runs over those games. As for Bruton, they have traveled a rocky road recently, having lost 12 of their last 13 contests. That's put a noticeable dent in their 3-18 record this season.
