Great Bend entered their tilt with Hays on Thursday with three consecutive wins, and they'll enter their next game with four. They were the clear victors by a 13-7 margin over the Indians. The Panthers might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won ten matchups by six runs or more this season.
Chayla Prendergast spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered just two earned (and five unearned) runs on five hits.
On the hitting side, DeShawnna Bryant and Alyssa McCauley did most of the damage at the plate: Bryant went 2-for-3 with one home run, three runs, and one stolen base, while McCauley went 3-for-4 with one home run, three RBI, and one double. McCauley has been hot recently, having posted three or more hits the last three times she's played. Ava Carter also deserves some recognition as she got her first hit of the season.
Great Bend was getting hits left and right and finished the game having posted a batting average of .459. They are a perfect 13-0 when they post a batting average of .375 or better.
Great Bend's win was their fifth straight on the road, which pushed their record up to 15-3. The road victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 11.6 runs over those games. As for Hays, they are on a three-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 4-3.
Looking ahead, Great Bend will welcome Garden City at 6:00 p.m. on Tuesday. The Panthers will need to watch out since the Buffaloes have now posted at least ten runs every time they've taken the field this season. Hays does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
