Southwestern entered their tilt with Somerset on Thursday with two consecutive wins, and they'll enter their next game with three. They put the hurt on the Briar Jumpers with a sharp 14-4 win. The Warriors might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won 11 games by six runs or more this season.

Jayla Singleton spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered only one earned (and three unearned) runs on four hits.

On the hitting side, Zoie Lowery was a standout: she went 4-for-5 with four RBI and two doubles. Those four hits gave her a new career-high. The team also got some help courtesy of Macie Gwin, who went 2-for-4 with one home run, two RBI, and one double.

They weren't the only ones making solid contact: Southwestern kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 15 hits. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now got at least 13 hits in three consecutive matches.

Southwestern pushed their record up to 13-7 with the victory, which was their third straight on the road. The road wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 4.0 runs on average over those games. As for Somerset, they have traveled a rocky road recently, having lost nine of their last 11 contests. That's put a noticeable dent in their 8-12-1 record this season.

Southwestern will take on Garrard County at 6:00 p.m. on Friday. As for Somerset, they will look to defend their home field on Friday against West Jessamine at 6:30 p.m.
