After having lost a blowout in their previous game against Orangefield, Kirbyville was happy to have turned things around on Tuesday. They put the hurt on the Kountze Lions with a sharp 10-3 win. The result was nothing new for the Wildcats, who have now won 11 games by seven runs or more so far this season.

Calli Wiggins was a major factor no matter where she played. On the mound, she struck out 12 batters over seven innings while giving up three earned runs off six hits (and only one walk). She has been consistent : she hasn't given up more than two walks in seven consecutive appearances. She was also solid in the batter's box, going 2-for-4 with four RBI. That's the most RBI she has posted since back in February.

In other batting news, Alyssa Wilkes was incredible, scoring two runs and stealing four bases while getting on base in all three of her plate appearances. That's the most runs she has posted since back in February. The team also got some help courtesy of Emilee Denz, who scored two runs and stole three bases while going 1-for-3.

Kirbyville is on a roll lately: they've won seven of their last eight matchups. That's provided a nice bump to their 19-7 record this season. The victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 3.0 runs on average over those games. As for Kountze, they dropped their record down to 8-8 with the defeat, which was their fourth straight on the road.

Looking ahead, Kirbyville will face off against Warren at 5:00 p.m. on Friday. As for Kountze, a feisty cat fight will be fought as Kountze Lions take on Orangefield Bobcats at 5:00 p.m. on Friday. Orangefield will roll in looking for their 14th straight win, something the Lions surely won't give up without a fight.
