Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Rossville). They were the clear victors by a 26-3 margin over the Frontier Falcons on Monday. The Hornets have beaten the Falcons the last six times they've met, but they better watch out: this was the closest the Falcons has come to flipping the script.
Allie Elliott and Addi Gorbett did most of the damage at the plate: Elliott went 4-for-6 with four runs, four RBI, and one stolen base, while Gorbett went a perfect 3-for-3 with three runs, four RBI, and two doubles. Those four RBI gave Gorbett a new career-high. Brielle Layton also deserves some recognition as she snagged her first stolen bases of the season.
They weren't the only ones making solid contact: Rossville kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 15 hits. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now got at least ten hits every time they've taken the field this season.
