It may have taken nine innings to finish the job, but Cambridge ultimately got the result they hoped for on Friday. They came out on top against the Columbus Cardinals by a score of 8-3. That's two games straight that the Bluejays have won by exactly five runs.
Emily Buckman spent all nine innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered only one earned (and two unearned) runs on eight hits.
On the hitting side, Casey Travis was incredible, going 2-for-6 with two runs, one triple, and two RBI. That triple marked the first that she has hit this season. Another player making a difference was Elizabeth Guld, who went 2-for-4 with two runs and one RBI.
The victory made it two in a row for Cambridge and bumps their season record up to 7-9. Those wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 6.5 runs over those games. As for Columbus, they have been struggling recently as they've lost six of their last eight contests. That's still a better percentage than their 4-13 record this season.
