The team relied heavily on Hannah Sorenson, who went a perfect 4-for-4 with one home run, five RBI, and three runs. That's the most RBI she has posted since back in April of 2024. Kaydin Whitenton also deserves some recognition as she launched her first home run of the season.

Meanwhile, Clearwater's rock-solid pitchers showed up for the team's fourth consecutive shutout on Wednesday. Their pitchers stepped up to hand Gulf a 1-0 shutout. The Tornadoes haven't had any issues with the Buccaneers recently, as the game was their fifth consecutive victory against them.

Clearwater saw three different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Juleah Patterson, who went 1-for-2 with two stolen bases and one run. Jadah Nicholls was another, going 1-for-2 with one double and one RBI.

Clearwater's win was their sixth straight at home, which pushed their record up to 17-9. Those home victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.2 runs on average over those games. As for Seminole, they are on a roll lately: they've won three of their last four games. That's provided a nice bump to their 9-12 record this season.

Seminole might still be hurting after the 10-0 loss they got from Clearwater in their previous meeting back in March. Can the Warhawks avenge their defeat or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
