Citrus took care of business in their home opener (and then some) on Tuesday. They put the hurt on the Hernando Leopards with a sharp 9-2 victory. That result was just more of the same for these two, as the Hurricanes also won the last time the pair played back in April of 2024.
Kaylin Smith spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered just two earned runs on five hits and racked up eight Ks. That's the most strikeouts she has posted since back in March of 2024.
