THE SERIES
Before today's games, the Fleet were on a four game winning streak against the Bulldogs. With the split, Erskine has won five of the past six games and own a 16-7 edge since the 2010 campaign.
 
HOW IT HAPPENED
GAME 1: Only one member of the Fleet reached base as Parker Birch made it on off a throwing error by the third baseman in the top of the first. The Bulldogs scored their only two runs in the bottom half of the first when Hannah Houge (15-3) walked in a run and then allowed an RBI single.

GAME 2: Houge started once again in game two, allowing a pair of doubles in the first which yielded the Bulldogs their only run of the game. The Fleet faced being swept until a grand slam from Tori Cooley yielded a 4-1 win.

THE PLAYER
GAME 1: Hannah Houge was dealt just her third loss of the season although she struck out 11 through six innings.
 
GAME 2: With 10 strikeouts in this game, Houge improved to 16-3 by allowing three hits over seven innings.
 
WHAT'S NEXT?
The Fleet play their final two road games of the regular season next Wednesday when they travel to Franklin Springs, Georgia to face off against Emmanuel College (14-24, 7-9 CC) in a doubleheader starting at 3 p.m.
