Dorman extended their winning streak to three on Tuesday, bumping their season record up to 13-7-1 in the process. They put the hurt on the Wade Hampton Generals with a sharp 11-5 victory. The result was nothing new for the Cavaliers, who have now won eight games by six runs or more so far this season.

Makenzie Rapalee looked comfortable as she didn't allow a single earned run over four innings pitched. She has been nothing but reliable on the mound: she hasn't given up more than two walks in eight consecutive appearances.

On the hitting side, Dorman let Leah Taylor and Emerson McLane run wild. Taylor went 3-for-4 with one home run and five RBI, while McLane went 2-for-5 with four RBI, two runs, and one triple. Those four RBI gave McLane a new career-high. Another player making a difference was Kayleigh Rapalee, who went 1-for-3 with three runs.

Dorman kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 11 hits. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now got at least ten hits in three consecutive contests.

As for Wade Hampton, they are on a four-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 8-11. Those defeats can't be blamed on the team's hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 7.8 runs over those games.

On Wade Hampton's side, they saw seven different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Eden Morford, who went 3-for-4 with two runs. Riley Carter also deserves some recognition as she snagged her first stolen base of the season.

Coming up, Dorman will host Gaffney at 6:00 p.m. on Friday. As for Wade Hampton, they will challenge Eastside at 6:00 p.m. on Monday. The Eagles have struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed 17.21 runs per game on average), something the Generals will no doubt try to take advantage of.
