She looked comfortable on the mound,   keeping things locked down with   no  earned runs or hits while striking out 11 over four innings pitched. She has been consistent: she hasn&#8217;t  tossed less than five  strikeouts in seven consecutive appearances. She was also big at the plate,  going 2-for-3 with three  RBI, one  run,  and one  double.<\/p>\n<p class=\"infosentience-paragraph\" style=\"order:4\"> In other batting news, <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.maxpreps.com\/tx\/portland\/gregory-portland-wildcats\/athletes\/emily-cameron\/?careerid=ge2nhjf48bvm6\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"> Emily Cameron<\/a> was a standout: she went a perfect 3-for-3 with four  runs and two  stolen bases. She continues to improve, besting her previous  run total in each of the last four games she&#8217;s  played. <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.maxpreps.com\/tx\/portland\/gregory-portland-wildcats\/athletes\/kailani-vargas\/?careerid=vkqdupa9blco8\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"> Kailani Vargas<\/a> also deserves some recognition as  she  launched her first  home run of the season.<\/p>\n<p class=\"infosentience-paragraph\" style=\"order:5\"> Gregory-Portland  kept the outfield on their toes and  finished the game with 11  hits. They are  a perfect 7-0 when  they post 11 or more  hits.<\/p>\n<p class=\"infosentience-paragraph\" style=\"order:6\">Flour Bluff came out on top against Alice  on Tuesday thanks in part to the team&#8217;s impressive ten-run third inning. The Hornets never let the Coyotes get on the board and left with  a   15-0  win. Considering the Hornets have won 14 games by more than five  runs this season, Tuesday&#8217;s  blowout was nothing new.<\/p>\n<p class=\"infosentience-paragraph\" style=\"order:7\">Like Gregory-Portland, Flour Bluff also got a great game from a two-way player: <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.maxpreps.com\/tx\/corpus-christi\/flour-bluff-hornets\/athletes\/kenzie-obrien\/?careerid=njjlqk1latrk4\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"> Kenzie O&#8217;Brien<\/a>. On the mound, she  pitched three innings while giving up   no  earned runs or  hits. O&#8217;Brien was also stellar in the batter&#8217;s box,  going 1-for-3 with one  home run and four  RBI. Those  four  RBI gave  her a new career-high.<\/p>\n<p class=\"infosentience-paragraph\" style=\"order:8\"> In other batting news,  the team  relied heavily on <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.maxpreps.com\/tx\/corpus-christi\/flour-bluff-hornets\/athletes\/sidney-gerlach\/?careerid=uopf5tmbndan7\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"> Sidney Gerlach<\/a>, who  fired off two  home runs and five  RBI while going 2-for-3. Those  five  RBI gave  her a new career-high. <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.maxpreps.com\/tx\/corpus-christi\/flour-bluff-hornets\/athletes\/sarah-morris\/?careerid=5siclal0v2366\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"> Sarah Morris<\/a> was another key player,  going 2-for-3 with one  home run, three  RBI,  and two  runs.<\/p>\n<p class=\"infosentience-paragraph\" style=\"order:9\"> Gregory-Portland&#8217;s record is now 14-16-2. As for Flour Bluff, their record now sits at 21-9-1.<\/p>\n<p class=\"infosentience-paragraph\" style=\"order:10\"> Tuesday&#8217;s   contest might come down to which pitcher can control the ball better. Gregory-Portland has hit smart this season,  having  averaged  an OBP of .439. However, it&#8217;s not like Flour Bluff struggles in that department as   they&#8217;ve  averaged .448. With both teams so capable at the plate, fans should be ready for an impressive hitting performance.
