Hall-Dale put another one in the bag on Friday to keep their perfect season alive. Everything went their way against the Lisbon Greyhounds as they made off with an 8-2 victory. The result was nothing new for the Bulldogs, who have now won four matches by six runs or more so far this season.

Lucy Gray made a splash while hitting and pitching. On the mound, she struck out eight batters over seven innings while giving up just one earned (and one unearned) run off five hits. She has been consistent: she hasn't tossed less than five strikeouts any time she's pitched this season. She was also big at the plate, going 2-for-4 with two runs, two RBI, and one double.

In other batting news, Torie Tibbetts was incredible, getting on base in three of her four plate appearances with two stolen bases, two runs, and one double. Emma Perry was another key player, going 2-for-3 with one stolen base, one run, and one RBI.

Hall-Dale kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 11 hits. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Lisbon only managed four hits.

Hall-Dale's win was their fifth straight at home dating back to last season, which pushed their record up to 8-0. Those home victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.0 run on average over those games. As for Lisbon, their loss was their first of the season and makes their record 6-1.

Both teams will have to hit the road in their upcoming games. Hall-Dale will head out to challenge Nokomis at 1:00 p.m. on Saturday. As for Lisbon, they will challenge Madison at 4:00 p.m. on Monday. The Bulldogs have struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed 16.13 runs per game on average), something the Greyhounds will no doubt try to take advantage of.
