Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Gainesville). They walked away with an 8-4 win over the Bell Bulldogs on Saturday. The Hurricanes have seen this before: they got the W the last time they saw the Bulldogs, too.
The team relied heavily on Braylin Cook, who went a perfect 1-for-1 with one home run, two runs, and two RBI. That's the most runs she has posted since back in May of 2024. Emma Barton also deserves some recognition as she brought in her first RBI of the season.
Gainesville hit smart and finished the game with only two strikeouts. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now struck out at most five strikeouts in three consecutive matches.
Gainesville is on a roll lately: they've won three of their last four contests. That's provided a massive bump to their 3-5 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.8 runs on average over those games. Bell dropped their record down to 3-4 with the loss, which was their fourth straight at home dating back to last season.
Looking ahead, Gainesville will welcome Forest at 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday. Forest is strutting in with some hitting muscle as they've averaged 8.7 runs per game this season. As for Bell, they are taking a road trip to challenge Lafayette at 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday.
