Seabreeze had lost four straight on the road, but on Monday they dropped their record down to 12-11 to make it five. They took a 7-2 hit to the loss column at the hands of the Taylor Wildcats. Unfortunately, that's the second time they've come up short against the Wildcats this season, as they also lost their prior matchup 20-0 back in February.
Seabreeze saw three different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Caylee Little, who went 3-for-4 with one run.
As for Taylor, they have been performing well recently as they've won four of their last five contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 14-9 record this season. Those wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 3.6 runs on average over those games.
On Taylor's side, Savannah Pearson spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered two runs (both of which were unearned) on five hits and racked up eight Ks.
At the plate, Taylor Lane was a standout: she went 3-for-4 with two stolen bases, two runs, and one double. That's the most hits she has posted since back in March. Amya Ramos was another key player, going 1-for-4 with one home run and three RBI.
