Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Dorman). They put the hurt on the Eastside Eagles with a sharp 23-1 win on Tuesday. Perhaps unsurprisingly given the team's high-flying offense, the game also marked the team's biggest victory of the season.

Hayden Bright was a major factor no matter where she played. She didn't allow a single earned run over four innings pitched. What's more, she posted five strikeouts, the most she's had since back in March. She was also big at the plate, scoring a run while going 2-for-3. She also brought in an RBI, marking her first of the season.

In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Leah Taylor, who got on base in all five of her plate appearances with one home run, seven RBI, and two runs. Those seven RBI gave her a new career-high. Another player making a difference was Emerson McLane, who scored five runs and stole a base while getting on base in three of her five plate appearances.

Dorman always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .561. That's the best OBP they've posted all season.

The win snapped Dorman's losing streak at three games and leaves them with a 9-5-1 record. As for Eastside, they are on a six-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 1-9-1.

Coming up, Dorman will head out to challenge Riverside at 7:30 p.m. on Friday. As for Eastside, they will be playing at home against Southside Christian at 6:00 p.m. on Wednesday.
