Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask First Colonial). They walked away with an 8-4 win over the Salem Sundevils on Thursday. This was payback for the Patriots, who suffered an 8-4 defeat the last time these two teams met.
Cori Evans spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered four runs (all of which were unearned) on seven hits and racked up six Ks. She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't given up more than two walks in four consecutive appearances.
On the hitting side, the team relied heavily on Aimee Ord, who scored three runs and stole two bases while going 2-for-4. That's the most hits she has posted since back in May of 2024. The team also got some help courtesy of Lucy Domozick, who went 2-for-4 with two runs and one triple.
First Colonial was getting hits left and right and finished the game having posted a batting average of .412. That's the best batting average they've posted all season.
