Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Troup). They never let the West Rusk Raiders get on the board and left with a 20-0 win on Tuesday. The result was nothing new for the Tigers, who have now won 13 matches by six runs or more so far this season.
Taylor Gillispie made a big impact while hitting and pitching. On the mound, she didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only one hit while striking out 14 over five innings pitched. That's the most strikeouts she has posted since back in March of 2024. She was also big at the plate, scoring three runs while going 1-for-4.
In other batting news, MaKayla Spencer was a standout: she scored three runs while going 3-for-4. What's more, she posted three RBI, the most she's had since back in April of 2024. Heather Longino was another key player, scoring four runs while going 2-for-3.
Troup was getting hits left and right and finished the game having posted a batting average of .412. That was just more of the same: they've now posted a batting average of .412 or higher in three consecutive games.
Troup has been performing incredibly well recently as they've won eight of their last nine contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 16-5 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.8 runs on average over those games. West Rusk's loss was their sixth straight at home dating back to last season, which dropped their record down to 1-5.
Troup will have a chance to go back-to-back against West Rusk: the pair's next game is a rematch scheduled at 6:00 p.m. on Friday.
