After losing to Bryant the last time they met, Fairhope decided to demonstrate that turnabout is fair play. The Fairhope Pirates had just enough and edged out the Bryant Hurricanes 3-1.

Fairhope got a great performance from Lily Guimarin as she tossed six innings while giving up just one earned run off four hits. Guimarin has been nothing but reliable on the mound: she hasn't given up more than two walks in six consecutive appearances.

At the plate, the team relied heavily on Anna Bumpers, who went 1-for-2 with one home run. Emma Stewart was another key player, scoring two runs and stealing a base while going 1-for-2.

Fairhope is on a roll lately: they've won eight of their last ten matches. That's provided a nice bump to their 10-5 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.5 runs on average over those games. Bryant is on a nine-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 1-10.

Coming up, Fairhope will be playing in front of their home fans against Daphne at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday.
