At the plate, Tunkhannock saw six different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Addisyn Waterman, who went 2-for-3 with one run.

As for Valley View, the win (which was their ninth in a row) raised their record to 20-2-1. The victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 12.1 runs over those games.

On Valley View's side, Taylor Cawley made a splash no matter where she played. She struck out seven batters over five innings while giving up just one earned run off five hits (and only one walk). Cawley was also stellar in the batter's box, firing off two home runs and four RBI while going 3-for-4. That's the most home runs she has posted since back in April.
