On the hitting side, the team relied heavily on Brooke Hunt, who went 2-for-3 with two doubles and one RBI. Those two doubles gave her a new career-high. Another player making a difference was Jaydin Alvarez, who went 1-for-2 with two RBI and one double.
Union County has been performing incredibly well recently as they've won six of their last seven matches. That's provided a nice bump to their 15-6 record this season. The team dominated over that stretch too, winning by an average of 8 runs. As for Bell, their defeat ended a three-game streak of wins at home and dropped them to 7-10.
Bell suffered a grim 11-5 defeat to Union County in their previous meeting back in February. Can the Bulldogs avenge their loss or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
