Dalynne Bussard spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered a run (which was unearned) on three hits and racked up 14 Ks. Those 14 strikeouts set a new season-high mark for her.

On the hitting side, Tippecanoe Valley's victory was truly a team effort as three different players contributed at least one hit. One of them was Temperance Caudill, who went 2-for-3 with one stolen base. That's the most hits Caudill has posted since back in May of 2024.

Tippecanoe Valley pushed their record up to 4-2 with the win, which was their third straight on the road. The road victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 10.7 runs over those games. As for Bremen, they are on a three-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 3-8.

Looking ahead, Tippecanoe Valley will head out to square off against Glenn at 5:30 p.m. on Thursday. The Falcons have struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed 8.8 runs per game on average), something the Vikings will no doubt try to take advantage of. As for Bremen, they will host Columbia City at 5:30 p.m. on Wednesday. The Eagles' pitching crew has only allowed 2.8 runs per game this season, so the Lions' hitters will have their work cut out for them.
