Tate was led to victory by Kate Balagbagan, who turned in her biggest game of the season on Friday. Balagbagan turned in nothing short of a gem: she struck out seven batters over seven innings while giving up just two earned (and one unearned) runs off six hits. She has been consistent recently: she hasn't given up more than two walks in five consecutive pitching appearances.
Balagbagan and Tate have the luxury of staying home for another game and will welcome Gulf Breeze at 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday. Balagbagan has dominated as far as hits are concerned (she's averaged 1 per game this season), but she's got her work cut out for her considering Gulf Breeze has only allowed 6.78 per game this season.
