The home team had won the previous seven meetings between Langley and Yorktown, and Langley kept the tradition alive. The Saxons narrowly escaped with a victory as the team sidled past the Patriots 4-2. Four seems to be a good number for the Saxons as the squad scooped up a win with the same number of runs in their previous game.

She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't tossed less than five strikeouts in 16 consecutive appearances. She was also solid in the batter's box, going 1-for-4 with one home run and two RBI.
