This was a revenge game for the Hurricanes: when they faced off against the Bulldogs back in February, they had to take a 5-2 defeat.
McKenna O'Sullivan spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered only one earned run on ten hits. She has been consistent recently: she hasn't given up more than one earned run in four consecutive appearances.

They weren't the only ones working in the home run department: Gainesville lost a few balls and finished the game with three home runs. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Suwannee didn't launched any home runs.
Gainesville pushed their record up to 7-5 with the win, which was their fifth straight on the road.

Both teams are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. Gainesville will challenge Williston at 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday.

As for Suwannee, they will face off against Madison County at 7:00 p.m. on Monday.
