Boyd-Buchanan had to skate by with only a two-run margin when they last took the field, which might have inspired the 15-run drubbing they dealt Huntland on Saturday. The Buccaneers were the clear victors by a 16-1 margin over the Hornets. Considering the Buccaneers have won ten matchups by more than seven runs this season, Saturday's blowout was nothing new.
Kate Murley looked comfortable as she pitched three innings while giving up no earned runs off two hits. She has been consistent for a while: she hasn't given up more than one walk in ten consecutive appearances.
At the plate, Jayde Sims was a standout: she went a perfect 2-for-2 with two runs, two RBI, and one double. Payton Rider was another key player, getting on base in all three of her plate appearances with two runs and one RBI.
