Corner posted their closest win since February 22nd on Tuesday. They skirted past the Hueytown Golden Gophers 7-6. This was a revenge game for the Yellow Jackets: when they faced off against the Golden Gophers back in February, they had to take a 10-8 loss.

Lilly Perkins spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered just two earned (and four unearned) runs on ten hits. She has been consistent : she hasn't given up more than one walk in eight consecutive appearances.

Owens wasn't the only one working in the home run department: Corner lost a few balls and finished the game with two home runs. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now launched at least two home runs in three consecutive matchups.

Corner's record now sits at 7-12-1. As for Hueytown, they have traveled a rocky road recently, having lost three of their last four games. That's put a noticeable dent in their 14-10 record this season.
