Big Spring proved they can win big on Wednesday (they won by ten) and on Thursday they proved they can win the close ones too. They had just enough and edged out the James Buchanan Rockets 6-5. The victory was nothing new for the Bulldogs as they're now sitting on five straight.

Zoey Zimmerman made a big impact no matter where she played. She looked comfortable on the mound, tossing 5.1 innings while giving up three earned (and one unearned) runs off nine hits. She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't given up more than two walks in 13 consecutive appearances. She was even better at the plate, going 2-for-4 with one home run, three RBI, and two runs. That home run marked the first that she has launched this season.

Zimmerman wasn't the only one making solid contact as five players wound up with at least one hit. One of them was Izzy Fry, who got on base in three of her four plate appearances with two runs.

Big Spring pushed their record up to 11-4 with the win, which was their third straight at home. Those home victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 13.7 runs over those games. As for James Buchanan, they have traveled a rocky road recently, having lost four of their last five contests. That's put a noticeable dent in their 7-7 record this season.

Both teams are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. Big Spring will welcome Dover at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday. As for James Buchanan, they will challenge Mercersburg Academy at 4:15 p.m. on Friday. The Rockets' pitchers better be ready for this one: the Storm have averaged an impressive 8.7 runs per game this season.
