Tom Bean had to skate by with only a one-run margin when they last took the field, which might have inspired the 16-run drubbing they dealt Ector on Monday. The Tomcats blew past the Eagles 16-0. The result was nothing new for the Tomcats, who have now won ten matchups by seven runs or more so far this season.

Keaton Reed and Reid Sharp were a major factor no matter where they played. Throwing, Reed pitched three innings while giving up no earned runs off two hits. Meanwhile, Sharp tossed two innings while giving up no earned runs off one hit. What's more, he posted five strikeouts, the most he's had since back in March of 2024. At the plate, Reed scored a run while going 3-for-3, while Sharp scored a run and stole a base while getting on base in two of his four plate appearances.

In other batting news, Hagen Darney was excellent, going 2-for-4 with one triple, two RBI, and one run. The team also got some help courtesy of Dyson Farris, who scored two runs while going 1-for-3.

Tom Bean is on a roll lately: they've won seven of their last eight games. That's provided a massive bump to their 14-7 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 12.8 runs over those games. As for Ector, they dropped their record down to 5-9 with the loss, which was their fifth straight on the road.

We've got plenty of inter-district action coming up soon. Tom Bean will face off against rival Trenton at 6:30 p.m. on Friday. Meanwhile, Ector is set to challenge their familiar foe Sam Rayburn at 4:30 p.m. on Thursday.
