The Robertsdale Golden Bears will take on the Blacksher Bulldogs in a tournament on Friday. The two teams are strolling into their matches after big wins in their previous games.
Robertsdale will roll into the game after a wild two-game stretch: they didn't score any runs on Wednesday, then bounced right back against Foley on Thursday. The Golden Bears were the clear victors by a 17-1 margin over the Lions. The Golden Bears have beaten the Lions the last three times they've met, but they better watch out: this was the closest the Lions has come to flipping the script.
Blakelynn Dunlavy was incredible, getting on base in four of her five plate appearances with one home run, two runs, and two RBI. That home run marked the first that she launched this season.

They didn't even let the Chieftains on the board, marking their second-straight 15-0 shutout. The result was nothing new for the Bulldogs, who have now won ten matches by six runs or more so far this season.
The team relied heavily on Laney Saucer, who went a perfect 2-for-2 with one home run and two RBI. The team also got some help courtesy of Kayleigh Patrick, who scored two runs while going 1-for-1.
