As for Hoggard, the victory got them back to even at 6-6. For those keeping track at home, that's the closest win they have posted since May 1, 2025.
For Hoggard's part, Ashley's batters probably weren't too happy with Sydney Perry, who pitched a no hitter and racked up 15 Ks (she gave up two walks). Perry has been consistent recently: she hasn't tossed less than seven strikeouts in four consecutive appearances.
At the plate, the team relied heavily on Chloe Gallagher, who went 2-for-3 with one triple, one stolen base, and one run. That triple marked the first that she has hit this season. The team also got some help courtesy of Sophie Gee, who went 2-for-3 with one double and one RBI.
