Gainesville had to skate by with only a one-run margin when they last took the field, which might have inspired the six-run drubbing they dealt Newberry on Friday. The Hurricanes blew past the Panthers 7-1. The result was nothing new for the Hurricanes, who have now won six matches by six runs or more so far this season.
McKenna O'Sullivan and Leanna Bourdage made a big impact no matter where they played. Throwing, O'Sullivan pitched five innings while giving up just one earned run off seven hits. Meanwhile, Bourdage struck out six batters over two innings while giving up no earned runs or hits (and not a single walk). O'Sullivan has been consistent: she hasn't given up more than two walks in five consecutive appearances. At bat, O'Sullivan got on base in three of her four plate appearances with one run and one RBI, while Bourdage went 2-for-3 with four stolen bases, three RBI, and two runs. Those four stolen bases gave Bourdage a new career-high.
They weren't the only ones making solid contact as three players wound up with at least one hit. One of them was Lana Renicks, who went 2-for-4 with two RBI.
Gainesville is on a roll lately: they've won ten of their last 12 games. That's provided a massive bump to their 12-7 record this season. Those wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 7.3 runs over those games. As for Newberry, their loss dropped their record down to 15-5.
