They were the clear victors by a 16-6 margin over the Blue Devils. The high-flying hitting performance was a huge turnaround for the Generals considering their one-run performance the game before.

In other batting news, Kailie Bookman was incredible, going a perfect 3-for-3 with four runs, one stolen base, and one double. Addison Williams also deserves some recognition as she hit her first triple of the season.
Dinwiddie pushed their record up to 10-2 with the win, which was their fourth straight on the road. The road victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.5 runs on average over those games. As for Glen Allen, their record is now 10-3.
Dinwiddie's hitters will have their work cut out for them on Monday. Glen Allen has been retiring batters left and right this season, having averaged 10.8 strikeouts per game. It's a different story for Dinwiddie, though, as they've been averaging only 3.8 strikeouts. Will Glen Allen keep running through batters, or will the Generals buck the trend?
Glen Allen suffered a grim 13-7 defeat to Dinwiddie when the teams last played back in March of 2018. Can the Jaguars avenge their defeat or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
