First Colonial entered their tilt with Bayside on Thursday with three consecutive wins, and they'll enter their next game with four. They blew past the Marlins 9-0. That's more bragging rights for the Patriots, who also won the pair's last head-to-head.

Not much got past Cori Evans, who gave up just three hits and racked up seven Ks to keep Bayside off the board. Evans has been consistent : she hasn't given up more than two walks in six consecutive appearances.

On the hitting side, Lucy Domozick was a standout: she scored two runs and stole four bases while going 3-for-4. With that strong performance, she is now averaging an impressive 1.1 stolen bases per game. Another player making a difference was Aimee Ord, who scored a run and stole two bases while going 1-for-3.

Domozick wasn't the only one making solid contact: First Colonial kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 12 hits. The Patriots are 3-1 when they post 11 or more hits.

First Colonial's win was their third straight at home, which pushed their record up to 4-4. Those home victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 3.0 runs on average over those games. As for Bayside, they have been struggling recently as they've lost five of their last six matches. That's put a noticeable dent in their 2-6 record this season.

Both squads will have to hit the road in their upcoming games. First Colonial will square off against Kempsville at 4:00 p.m. on Tuesday. The Chiefs' pitching crew has only allowed 2.6 runs per game this season, so the Patriots' hitters will have their work cut out for them. As for Bayside, they will challenge Norview at 4:00 p.m. on Monday. The Marlins are facing the Pilots at the right time seeing as the Pilots are stuck on a four-game losing streak.
