Tri-County North came tearing into Saturday's matchup with four straight wins (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 5.8 runs), and they left with even more momentum. They walked away with a 6-2 win over the Tecumseh Arrows. For the Panthers, this counts as revenge for the 15-2 victory the Arrows walked away with the last time they faced one another back in April of 2024.

Kasidi Daugherty spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered only one earned (and one unearned) run on ten hits and racked up eight Ks. She has been consistent: she hasn't tossed less than five strikeouts in eight consecutive appearances.

At the plate, the team relied heavily on Lola Grieshop, who went 2-for-3 with one home run. That home run marked the first that she has launched this season. Another player making a difference was Gracie Hemp, who went 1-for-3 with one triple, one run, and one RBI.

They weren't the only ones making solid contact: Tri-County North kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 11 hits. They are 6-2 when they post 11 or more hits.

Tri-County North pushed their record up to 9-6 with the win, which was their fourth straight at home. Those home victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.3 runs on average over those games. As for Tecumseh, they are on a six-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 2-7.

Looking ahead, Tri-County North will square off against Franklin Monroe at 5:00 p.m. on Tuesday. The Jets have struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed 16.33 runs per game on average), something the Panthers will no doubt try to take advantage of. As for Tecumseh, they will face off against Kenton Ridge at 5:15 p.m. on Monday. The Arrows will need to watch out since the Cougars have now posted at least ten runs in their last nine contests.
