Willis lost a heartbreaker the last time they played Conroe, but it's fair to say they got their revenge given the result of Tuesday's game. The Wildkats never let the Tigers get on the board and left with a 10-0 victory on Tuesday. Considering the Wildkats have won nine matchups by more than five runs this season, Tuesday's blowout was nothing new.

Alexi Ford made a big impact while hitting and pitching. She looked comfortable on the mound, not allowing a single earned run while striking out seven over six innings pitched. She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't tossed less than six strikeouts in 14 consecutive appearances. She was also solid in the batter's box, going 1-for-2 with one home run and two RBI.

The win was the fourth in a row for Willis, bringing their record up to 17-5. The victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.8 runs on average over those games. As for Conroe, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 12-6.
