The Cougars put the hurt on the Bulldogs with a sharp 16-1 victory. The Cougars might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won eight matchups by eight runs or more this season.
Caroline ABE looked comfortable as she tossed three innings while giving up no earned runs off two hits.
At the plate, Chloe Cowan was a standout: she went 1-for-3 with one home run and two RBI. Ava Dorfner also deserves some recognition as she brought in her first RBI of the season.
