Suwannee is a perfect 5-0 against Chiefland since March of 2020 and they'll have a chance to extend that dominance on Tuesday. The Bulldogs will challenge the Indians at 7:00 p.m. The two teams each escaped (but just barely!) with wins against their previous opponents.

Chiefland will be up against a hot Suwannee squad: the team just extended their winning streak to three. The Bulldogs came within a single run of losing the streak, but they secured a 2-1 W against Fort White.

Gracie Watley spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered a run (which was unearned) on three hits. She has been consistent for a while: she hasn't given up more than two walks in ten consecutive appearances.

On the hitting side, the team relied heavily on Brianna Woods, who went 1-for-3 with one home run.

Meanwhile, it may have taken eight innings to finish the job, but Chiefland ultimately got the result they hoped for on Thursday. They narrowly escaped with a victory as the squad sidled past Lafayette 9-8. The win continues a trend for the Indians in their matchups with the Hornets: they've now won three in a row.

Anna Jane Meeks was a major factor while hitting and pitching. On the mound, she struck out ten batters over eight innings while giving up three earned (and five unearned) runs off eight hits. Meeks was also big at the plate, going 3-for-5 with one home run and two runs.

Meeks wasn't the only one making solid contact as five players wound up with at least one hit. One of them was Evie Meeks, who scored a run while going 1-for-4.

Suwannee now has a winning record of 9-8. As for Chiefland, their record now sits at 6-13.

Suwannee took their victory against Chiefland when the teams last played back in February by a conclusive 9-3 score. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Bulldogs since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
