Hampton waltzed into their matchup on Thursday with five straight wins... but they left with six. They had just enough and edged out the Beaver Bobcats 6-4. That's the second time they've managed to beat them this season, as they also won 7-5 last Saturday.
Marissa Snyder spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered four earned runs on eight hits. She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't given up more than two walks in four consecutive appearances.
On the hitting side, the team relied heavily on Aliza Michielli, who went 3-for-4 with three RBI and one double. Addi Hanna also deserves some recognition as she hit her first double of the season.
They weren't the only ones making solid contact: Hampton kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 13 hits. That's a new trend for them: they were averaging 5 hits per game earlier this season, but in their last 15 games they've averaged 10.8.

Those home victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 6.3 runs over those games.
