Evelyn Herrington spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered four earned runs on nine hits.

South Cobb's record is now 7-15. As for Campbell, their record now sits at 10-13.
South Cobb's speedy runners might be the difference in Tuesday's contest. The Eagles have been swiping bases left and right this season, having averaged 5.7 stolen bases per game. It's a different story for Campbell, though, as they've been averaging only 1.3 stolen bases. Will they be able to secure the bases, or will South Cobb continue to outrun the ball?
South Cobb might still be hurting after the 22-3 loss they got from Campbell when the teams last played back in September. Can the Eagles avenge their defeat or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
