The team relied heavily on Faith Roberson, who scored three runs and stole three bases while going 4-for-4. She has been hot recently, having posted at least one stolen base the last three times she's played. The team also got some help courtesy of Baylee Darby, who scored a run while going 2-for-3.
Brooks hit smart and finished the game with only two strikeouts. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now struck out at most five strikeouts in seven consecutive games dating back to last season.
Meanwhile, Sparkman narrowly escaped with a win as the team sidled past Helena 3-1.
Sparkman's victory was truly a team effort as five different players contributed at least one hit. One of them was Raychel Harmon, who went 2-for-3 with one double and one RBI. Bella Mayfield also deserves some recognition as she stole her first stolen base of the season.
Sparkman has been performing well recently as they've won five of their last six matchups. That's provided a nice bump to their 8-3 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 8.8 runs over those games. Brooks' win bumped their record up to 2-3.
