Festus lost a heartbreaker the last time they played Seckman, but it's fair to say they got their revenge given the result of Tuesday's matchup. The Tigers were the clear victors by a 7-1 margin over the Jaguars on Tuesday. The Tigers might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won nine games by six runs or more this season.

Ava Oberle spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered a run (which was unearned) on seven hits and racked up 11 Ks.

On the hitting side, the team relied heavily on Keeleigh Hankins, who went 2-for-4 with one home run, one triple, and two RBI. That triple marked the first that she has hit this season. Another player making a difference was Mia Metzger, who went 2-for-4 with one home run and one double.

They weren't the only ones working in the home run department: Festus lost a few balls and finished the game with two home runs. That's the most home runs they've managed all season.

Festus pushed their record up to 13-2 with the win, which was their fifth straight on the road. Those road victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.8 runs on average over those games. As for Seckman, their loss dropped their record down to 10-8.

Both squads will have to hit the road in their upcoming contests. Festus will take on Jefferson at 4:30 p.m. on Thursday. As for Seckman, they will square off against Lindbergh at 4:15 p.m. on Wednesday.
