Horizon proved they can win big last Friday (they won by 15) and on Tuesday they proved they can win the close ones too. They had just enough and edged out the Boone Braves 6-4. The victory was familiar territory for the Hawks, who have now won three matches in a row.
Mackenzie Duncan spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered four runs (all of which were unearned) on six hits and racked up 15 Ks. She has been consistent recently: she hasn't tossed less than eight strikeouts in three consecutive appearances.
On the hitting side, Horizon saw six different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Addison Lamb, who scored a run while going 3-for-3. Lila Hernandez was another, scoring a run while going 2-for-4.
Lamb wasn't the only one making solid contact: Horizon kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 11 hits. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now got at least ten hits in four consecutive games.
