Franklin County won the last time they faced Taylor County and things went their way on Friday too. The Seahawks' pitcher stepped up to hand the Bulldogs an 11-0 shutout. The Seahawks might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won eight matchups by nine runs or more this season.

Sarah Ham made a big impact no matter where she played. She looked comfortable on the mound, not allowing a single earned run and allowing only one hit over five innings pitched. She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't given up more than two walks in 12 consecutive appearances. She was also solid in the batter's box, scoring a run while going 2-for-4.

In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Shasta Butler, who scored two runs and stole a base while going 2-for-4. Another player making a difference was Lilah Millender, who scored a run and stole a base while going 1-for-3.

Franklin County has been performing well recently as they've won four of their last five contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 11-4 record this season. Those wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.0 runs on average over those games. As for Taylor County, they dropped their record down to 1-13 with the defeat, which was their fifth straight at home.

Both teams are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. Franklin County will square off against Suwannee at 7:00 p.m. on Monday. As for Taylor County, they will challenge Rickards at 6:00 p.m. on Monday. The Raiders have struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed 9.64 runs per game on average), something the Bulldogs will no doubt try to take advantage of.
