On TuesdayChapel Hill's undefeated season almost came to an end. They had just enough and edged the Decatur Bulldogs out 12-10. That result was just more of the same for these two, as the Panthers also won the last time the pair played back in September of 2023.
Grace Glowacki was a major factor no matter where she played. She looked comfortable on the mound, striking out nine batters over 5.1 innings while giving up just one earned (and two unearned) runs off five hits. Glowacki was also big at the plate, scoring a run while going 2-for-5.
In other batting news, Nyla Henson and Mariah Walker did most of the damage at the plate: Henson went 2-for-4 with a home run, three runs, and four RBI, while Walker scored four runs and stole a base while getting on base in four of her five plate appearances. Another player making a difference was Shelbie Hutto, who went 2-for-4 with two doubles and two RBI.
Perhaps unsurprisingly given the score, Chapel Hill kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 11 hits. That's the most hits they've earned since back in September of 2023.
