Albany barely beat Saint Mary the last time the pair played, but that sure wasn't the case this time around. Everything went the Albany Cougars' way against the Saint Mary's Panthers on Wednesday as the Albany Cougars made off with an 11-5 victory. The Cougars might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won three contests by six runs or more this season.

The team relied heavily on Samirah Bowie, who went 3-for-4 with two RBI and one double. Annalise Winkle was another key player, scoring two runs while going 1-for-3.

Albany's win ended a three-game drought at home and bumped them up to 3-4. As for Saint Mary's, their loss was their ninth straight on the road dating back to last season, which dropped their record down to 0-4.

Both squads will have to hit the road in their upcoming games. Albany will take on Pinole Valley at 4:30 p.m. on Friday. Pinole Valley's pitching crew has only allowed 2.9 runs per game this season, so Albany's hitters will have their work cut out for them.
