They put the hurt on the St. Mary's Rams with a sharp 11-1 win. 11 seems to be a good number for the Bulldogs as the team scooped up a victory with the same number of runs in their previous game.

Ruth Silvinson made a splash no matter where she played. She tossed five innings while giving up just one earned run off four hits. She has been nothing but reliable on the mound: she hasn't given up more than one earned run in five consecutive appearances. She was also big at the plate, getting on base in three of her four plate appearances with one run.

That's the most RBI Nelson has posted since back in April. Another player making a difference was Emalee Cargill, who went 2-for-3 with two runs and one stolen base.
