University dropped their record down to 25-6-1 on Friday, which also ended the team's four-game streak of wins. They fell just short of the Cabell Midland Knights by a score of 6-5. The result was an unpleasant reminder to the Hawks of the 13-3 loss they experienced in the pair's previous head-to-head fixture back in April of 2024.

Maddie Campbell put in work no matter where she played. On the mound, she pitched three innings while giving up just one earned (and two unearned) runs off three hits. Campbell was even better at the plate, going 1-for-3 with one home run, one stolen base, and two RBI.

Campbell wasn't the only one making solid contact as four players wound up with at least one hit. One of them was Olivia Masoner, who went a perfect 2-for-2 with one RBI. Another was Kelsey Park, who went 1-for-3 with two runs and one double.

As for Cabell Midland, they have been performing incredibly well recently as they've won 20 of their last 21 matches. That's provided a nice bump to their 28-3 record this season. Six seems to be a good number for they as the squad scooped up a victory with the same number of runs in their previous game.

On Cabell Midland's side, Audrea Watts spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered five earned runs on ten hits and racked up 13 Ks. Watts has been consistent for a while: she hasn't tossed less than six strikeouts in ten consecutive appearances.

At the plate, the team relied heavily on Becca Conrad, who got on base in all four of her plate appearances with two runs and one RBI. Nicole Harris was another key player, going 2-for-4 with one triple and one RBI.

Coming up, University will face off against Jefferson at 10:30 a.m. on Saturday. The Hawks' pitchers better be ready for this one: the Cougars have averaged an impressive 7.9 runs per game this season. Cabell Midland does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
