It's hard to turn regular season success into postseason wins, a fact Hatton can now relate to. They fell just short of the Cordova Blue Devils by a score of 3-2 on Tuesday. The Hornets were given a dose of their own medicine in this game as the Blue Devils apparently hadn't forgotten their defeat the last time these teams played back in April of 2017.

Brianna Oliver spent all 8.2 innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered just two earned (and one unearned) runs on ten hits and racked up seven Ks. She has been consistent recently: she hasn't tossed less than seven strikeouts in three consecutive appearances.
At the plate, Lexie Kilpatrick was cooking despite her team's loss, going 3-for-5 with one stolen base and two RBI.
Hatton has also traveled a rocky road recently, having lost three of their last four contests. That's put a noticeable dent in their 21-27-2 record this season. That patch can't be blamed on the team's hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 6.3 runs over those games. As for Cordova, they are on a roll lately: they've won 12 of their last 14 matches. That's provided a nice bump to their 31-15 record this season.
As of now, neither Hatton nor Cordova have any future games scheduled.
