Hooks waltzed into their matchup on Saturday with three straight wins... but they left with four. They blew past the Jefferson Bulldogs 12-2. The game marked the Hornets' most dominant win of the season so far.
Darla Jones looked comfortable as she pitched four innings while giving up just one earned (and one unearned) run off two hits. That's the fewest earned runs she has allowed since back in March of 2024.
At the plate, the team relied heavily on Zoey Greenwood, who scored two runs and stole three bases while going 2-for-2. She is on a roll when it comes to stolen bases, as she's now stole two or more in each of the last five games she's played.
