North Mason took a ten-run defeat the last time they faced off against Kingston, but this time they managed to keep it close and that made all the difference. The Bulldogs narrowly escaped with a win as the team sidled past the Buccaneers 3-2. This was a revenge game for the Bulldogs: when they faced off against the Buccaneers on Thursday, they had to take a 15-5 loss.

Addyson Roy spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered two runs (both of which were unearned) on one hit and racked up seven Ks. She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't tossed less than five strikeouts in four consecutive appearances.

On the hitting side, Taylor Madison and Kennady Carson did most of the damage at the plate: Madison went 1-for-3 with one home run and two RBI, while Carson got on base in three of her four plate appearances with one stolen base and one run. Carson has been hot recently, having posted at least one stolen base the last three times she's played. The team also got some help courtesy of Jenna Markuson, who went 1-for-2 with one run and one double.

North Mason is on a roll lately: they've won five of their last six matches. That's provided a nice bump to their 11-6-1 record this season. The victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 9.8 runs over those games. As for Kingston, their defeat dropped their record down to 9-7-1.
