Carroll typically has all the answers at home, but on Saturday Hamilton Southeastern proved too difficult a challenge. They walked away with a 6-2 win over the Chargers. The Royals haven't had any issues with the Chargers recently, as the game was their sixth consecutive victory against them.

At the plate, the team relied heavily on Kaitlyn Burdick, who went a perfect 3-for-3 with one home run and two runs. That's the most runs she has posted over her last 11 matches.
