Frazee split a doubleheader with Barnesville in their lone action of the week on Thursday night.

Barnesville was able to come away with a 16-0 win in the opening game of the night after scoring seven runs in the first inning, three in the fourth and six more in the fifth inning, before the Hornets came charging back with an 11-3 win in the nightcap.

After picking up just one hit in the first game of the night, the Hornets offense picked up in a big way in the second game of the night as they picked up 10 hits and 11 runs. 

Katie Courneya put the Hornets on the scoreboard in the top of the first inning when she hit a sacrifice fly to center field to bring Ella Ullrich across the plate to score. 

Frazee broke the game open in the second inning when the Hornets went on a one out rally to plate six runs. Among the highlights was a two-run single by both McKenna Wacker and Katie Courneya, while Kaija Aschnewitz plated a run on a sacrifice to the third baseman.
