Kaylee Hamlett continued to baffle opposing teams, striking out 10 to power Blue Mountain to a 14-2 home win over Cal United last Thursday. Addison Murray and Susanna combined for four hits and six RBI to power the Lady Buck offense. Peyton Winn and Austin Roos combined for four hits and two runs for Cal United and Morgan issued 14 free passes on the day to take the loss. Despite the score, first year head coach Jennie Moore and her young team held their own against a Blue Mountain team that had outscored their opponents 53-5 in their first three games.

Cal United will be back in action on Wednesday as they host Paine Mountain at Paul Remick Field in Danville.
