The Fightin' Tigers blew past the Bulldogs 14-4. The result was nothing new for the Fightin' Tigers, who have now won 13 matches by six runs or more so far this season.

Union County got a massive performance out of Brooke Hunt, who scored two runs while getting on base in all four of her plate appearances. Emma Handley was another key player, scoring three runs and stealing a base while going 2-for-3.

Union County is on a roll lately: they've won seven of their last eight contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 16-6 record this season.
