Baker won the last time they faced Bryant and things went their way on Saturday too. The Hornets were the clear victors by a 12-1 margin over the Hurricanes. Considering the Hornets have won 17 games by more than six runs this season, Saturday's blowout was nothing new.

KATLYN CONE spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered only one earned run on two hits.

At the plate, REBECCA SMITH was a standout: she went 4-for-5 with seven RBI, one run, and one double. Those seven RBI gave her a new career-high. The team also got some help courtesy of NOLA HAVARD, who went 1-for-4 with one home run, three RBI, and two runs.

Baker hit smart and finished the game with only two strikeouts. The team has now struck out at least three batters in five consecutive contests.

Baker pushed their record up to 28-16-2 with the victory, which was their third straight at home. The home wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 0.7 runs on average over those games. As for Bryant, they have been struggling recently as they've lost six of their last seven matchups. That's put a noticeable dent in their 15-22-1 record this season.

Bryant didn't take long to hit the field again: they've already played their next game, a 2-0 victory against Mary G. Montgomery on the 4th. Hopefully Baker paid attention to the Hurricanes' contest: the next time they hit the field , they'll take on the Hurricanes at 6:00 p.m. on Monday.
