Hazel Heron spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered only one earned run on four hits and racked up 12 Ks. She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't tossed less than five strikeouts in six consecutive appearances.

At the plate, Grant's win was truly a team effort as four different players contributed at least one hit. One of them was Uva Tomita, who went 1-for-3 with one triple and one run. Olive Raak also deserves some recognition as she got her first hit of the season.

Grant's record is now 3-6. As for McDaniel, they have traveled a rocky road recently, having lost three of their last four games. That's put a noticeable dent in their 3-7 record this season.

We've got plenty of inter-league action coming up soon. Grant will challenge rival Ida B. Wells at 4:30 p.m. on Friday. Meanwhile, McDaniel is set to take on their familiar foe Franklin at 4:00 p.m. on Wednesday.
