The Gladewater Bears are taking a road trip to square off against the Tatum Eagles at 6:00 p.m. on Friday.
On Tuesday, Gladewater needed a bit of extra time to put away Tatum. They won by a run and slipped past the Eagles 11-10. The high-scoring performance was a welcome turnaround for the Bears' hitters, who had struggled in the games prior.
For Tatum's part, Noa Cart spent all 8.1 innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered seven earned (and four unearned) runs on 12 hits and racked up 12 Ks. Those 12 strikeouts set a new season-high mark for Cart.
On the hitting side, Camryn Milam made the most of her time at bat despite the final result and went 4-for-5 with one home run, four runs, and two doubles. Those four runs gave her a new career-high. Another player making a difference was Audrey Parsons, who went 3-for-5 with one double and one RBI.
Milam wasn't the only one working in the hit department: Tatum kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 17 hits. That's the most hits they've managed all season.
Tatum has been struggling recently as they've lost seven of their last nine matches. That's put a noticeable dent in their 5-9 record this season. Gladewater's victory bumped their record up to 6-9-1.
