Johns Creek is headed in fresh off scoring the most runs they have all season. They blew past Gainesville 18-1 on Tuesday. The win made it back-to-back victories for the Gladiators.
Zelda Arthur was a standout: she scored three runs while going 2-for-2. The team also got some help courtesy of Addie Grindle, who scored three runs while going 2-for-2.
