contents We consider saddle connections on a translation surface in a hyperelliptic connected component of a stratum that do not intersect the interior of a distinguished saddle connection. For this restricted set of saddle connections, we show that it satisfies an $L (\log L)^{d-2}$ growth rate, where $d$ is the complex dimension of the hyperelliptic stratum. The upper bound holds for all translation surfaces in the hyperelliptic stratum while the lower bound holds for almost every surface in the hyperelliptic stratum. The proof of the lower bound uses horocycle renormalization.
