Two teams were on the hunt for playoff glory, but only Heritage walked away with it. They put the hurt on the Harlem Bulldogs with a sharp 10-3 win on Wednesday. The result was nothing new for the Generals, who have now won 12 matchups by six runs or more so far this season.

Bailee Hollis made a splash while hitting and pitching. On the mound, she struck out seven batters over seven innings while giving up just two earned (and one unearned) runs off three hits. She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't given up more than two walks in nine consecutive appearances. She was also solid in the batter's box, going 1-for-4 with three runs and one stolen base. That's the most runs she has posted since back in September.

In other batting news, Heritage let Landry White and Ema Tanner run wild. White went 2-for-4 with four RBI, two runs, and one triple, while Tanner went 2-for-4 with three RBI, one stolen base, and one run. Those four RBI gave White a new career-high. The team also got some help courtesy of Kinley Eason, who went 2-for-4 with one run and one RBI.

Heritage hit smart and finished the game with only one strikeout. The team has now struck out at least four batters in four consecutive contests.

Heritage has been performing well recently as they've won four of their last five games. That's provided a nice bump to their 18-9 record this season. The victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.4 runs on average over those games. As for Harlem, their loss ended a seven-game streak of wins at home and dropped them to 22-9.

Heritage will have a chance to go back-to-back against the Bulldogs: the pair will be back at it again later today.
