The Hurricanes never let the Hornets get on the board and left with a 12-0 victory. The result was nothing new for the Hurricanes, who have now won nine matchups by six runs or more so far this season.
Sam Porter was incredible, going 2-for-4 with one home run and three RBI. Those three RBI gave her a new career-high. Emilee Brinson also deserves some recognition as she scored her first run of the season.
They weren't the only ones making solid contact: Cartersville kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 17 hits. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Hiram only managed two hits.
