Argenta-Oreana barely beat Clinton the last time the pair played, but that sure wasn't the case this time around. The Bombers never let the Maroons get on the board and left with a 15-0 victory on Tuesday. Considering the Bombers have won nine contests by more than five runs this season, Tuesday's blowout was nothing new.

Elyssa Armstrong made a big impact while hitting and pitching. She looked comfortable on the mound, not allowing a single earned run and allowing only one hit while striking out seven over four innings pitched. Armstrong was also big at the plate, going 3-for-4 with four RBI, one triple, and one run. Those four RBI gave her a new career-high.

In other batting news, Kharma Giles was incredible, going a perfect 4-for-4 with one home run, four RBI, and one triple. That triple marked the first that she has hit this season. Another player making a difference was Angelina Madrigal, who went a perfect 2-for-2 with two runs, one double, and one RBI.

Argenta-Oreana always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .562. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Clinton only posted an OBP of .077.

Argenta-Oreana's win was their fourth straight on the road, which pushed their record up to 11-9. Those road victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 0.3 runs on average over those games. As for Clinton, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 4-11.

Both squads are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. Argenta-Oreana will take on Arthur-Lovington/Atwood-Hammond at 4:30 p.m. on Thursday. The Bombers' pitchers better be ready for this one: the Knights have averaged an impressive 7.4 runs per game this season. As for Clinton, they will square off against Tuscola at 4:30 p.m. on Wednesday. The Warriors will roll in looking for their seventh straight win, something the Maroons surely won't give up without a fight.
