Brevard had to skate by with only a one-run margin when they last took the field, which might have inspired the six-run drubbing they dealt Chase on Thursday. The Blue Devils blew past the Trojans 8-2. The Blue Devils might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won nine contests by six runs or more this season.

Emma Bailey made a big impact while hitting and pitching. She struck out six batters over seven innings while giving up just two earned runs off seven hits (and only one walk). She has been nothing but reliable on the mound: she hasn't given up more than one walk in three consecutive appearances. She was also solid in the batter's box, going 2-for-4 with two RBI, one run, and one double.

In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Claire Wilson, who went 3-for-4 with three runs, two doubles, and one stolen base. That's the most runs she has posted since back in March. Another player making a difference was Ava Rogers, who went 2-for-4 with two runs and two RBI.

Brevard kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 14 hits. The team's really been improving in that area: they've now improved their hit total in three consecutive matches.

Brevard has been performing well recently as they've won four of their last five games. That's provided a nice bump to their 16-6 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 3.8 runs on average over those games. As for Chase, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 13-10.

As of now, neither Brevard nor the Trojans have any future games scheduled.
