Iota never got on the board in their matchup last Thursday, but that sure wasn't the case in their game against Church Point on Tuesday. They put the hurt on the Bears with a sharp 12-4 victory. The result was nothing new for the Bulldogs, who have now won nine games by eight runs or more so far this season.

Saige Cherry spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered just two earned (and two unearned) runs on four hits and racked up nine Ks.

On the hitting side, Haydyn Schexnayder and Charli Sonnier did most of the damage at the plate: Schexnayder went 2-for-4 with one home run, four RBI, and two runs, while Sonnier went 2-for-4 with one home run, four RBI, and one double. That's the most RBI Schexnayder has posted since back in February of 2024. Chloe Bordelon was another key player, scoring three runs while getting on base in four of her five plate appearances.

Iota hit smart and finished the game with only two strikeouts. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Church Point struck out nine times.

Iota has been performing incredibly well recently as they've won 12 of their last 14 matchups. That's provided a nice bump to their 17-3 record this season. Church Point is on a nine-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 3-11-1.

Both squads are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. Iota will square off against Crowley at 5:30 p.m. on Thursday. Crowley has struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed 7.21 runs per game on average), something Iota will no doubt try to take advantage of. As for Church Point, they will host St. Edmund at 5:00 p.m. on Wednesday.
