The Lady Panthers remain undefeated at 6-0 and look to continue that. The bats were on fire over the weekend with KB Moix swinging the hottest bat.
Moix batted an incredible .750 average on the weekend, hitting 7 singles, a double, a triple, and showed off the versatility by stealing 3 bases. Cameron Culclager was also on fire with a .455 average and 3 stolen bases to her name. Azzy Morrow also batted an excellent .455 average hitting a homerun and racking up 3 RBI.
Rexie Crane continues to look like an absolute ace for this pitching staff. Crane pitched 12 innings giving up only 4 hits and single earned run, but dominated against hooters with an astonishing 17 K’s against Morrilton and Springdale Harber batters.
Bella Villanueva pitched to a victory against Cabot. Villanueva pitched 5.1 innings but she did give up 10 hits and 4 earned runs on the way to the victory.
Both Benton ball clubs have looked incredible this year. They’ll look to continue to carry this momentum through the entire season with no one getting in their way.
