Caldwell won the last time they faced Navasota and things went their way on Friday too. Caldwell blew past Navasota 11-4. The result was nothing new for the Hornets, who have now won six matches by six runs or more so far this season.

Samone Clark was a major factor while hitting and pitching. She looked comfortable on the mound, not allowing a single earned run while striking out eight over seven innings pitched. She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't given up more than two walks in six consecutive appearances. She was also big at the plate, firing off two home runs, three RBI, and one triple while getting on base in all five of her plate appearances. Those two home runs gave her a new career-high.

In other batting news, Molly Meadows was excellent, scoring two runs and stealing a base while going 2-for-3. Jaelyn Gest was another key player, going 2-for-4 with two doubles and one RBI.

Caldwell was getting hits left and right and finished the game having posted a batting average of .394. They are 5-1-1 when they post a batting average of .375 or better.

Caldwell has been performing well recently as they've won five of their last six games. That's provided a massive bump to their 11-8-1 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 9.2 runs over those games. Navasota's defeat was their third straight at home, which dropped their record down to 2-8.

Caldwell will have a chance to go back-to-back against Navasota: the pair's next game is a rematch scheduled at 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday.
