She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't given up more than one earned run in three consecutive appearances. She was also big at the plate, going 2-for-3 with three RBI, one stolen base, and one run. That's the most RBI she has posted since back in September of 2024.

That's the most RBI Hancock has posted since back in August. Sher'Miah Donaldson was another key player, going 2-for-4 with two runs and two RBI.

Worth County kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 12 hits. That's a new trend for them: they were averaging 5.1 hits per game earlier this season, but in their last 15 games they've averaged 9.

Worth County has been performing well recently as they've won four of their last five matchups. That's provided a nice bump to their 9-11 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 3.0 runs on average over those games. As for Fitzgerald, they dropped their record down to 2-21 with the defeat, which was their 13th straight at home dating back to last season.

Both teams are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. Worth County will face off against Jeff Davis at 2:00 p.m. on Saturday. As for Fitzgerald, they will square off against Turner County at 5:00 p.m. on Monday. The Titans have struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed 16.94 runs per game on average), something the Purple Hurricane will no doubt try to take advantage of.
