White Plains won against Ossining on Tuesday with eight runs and they decided to stick to that run total again on Saturday. The Tigers were the clear victors by an 8-1 margin over the John Jay Patriots. The result was nothing new for the Tigers, who have now won 12 matchups by six runs or more so far this season.

Alexis Tighe was a major factor while hitting and pitching. She looked comfortable on the mound, striking out ten batters over seven innings while giving up just one earned run off five hits (and only one walk). She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't tossed less than seven strikeouts in seven consecutive appearances. She was also stellar in the batter's box, going a perfect 3-for-3 with one home run, two RBI, and one double. That's the most hits she has posted since back in April.

In other batting news, White Plains let Ava Galligani and Emily Anastacio run wild. Galligani went 2-for-4 with two runs, one stolen base, and one RBI, while Anastacio went 3-for-4 with three RBI and one double. That's the most hits Anastacio has posted since back in May of 2024. The team also got some help courtesy of Ava Ritterman, who went 2-for-4 with two RBI, one run, and one double.

White Plains pushed their record up to 16-3 with the win, which was their seventh straight on the road. The road victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 0.6 runs on average over those games. As for John Jay, they are on a six-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 3-8.

Coming up, White Plains will challenge Eastchester at 4:30 p.m. on Sunday. The two teams have allowed few runs on average (the Tigers 2, the Eagles 2.9) so any runs scored will be well earned. As for John Jay, they will have a little extra prep time after the loss as they won't be playing again for a while. They'll take on Mahopac at 4:30 p.m. on the 29th.
