The Bears will be taking part in a tournament against the Panthers at 6:00 p.m. on Thursday. Cypress Creek has given up an average of 12.5 runs per game this season, but Thursday's game will give them a chance to turn things around.

Meanwhile, Dr. Phillips made easy work of Wekiva on Tuesday and carried off a 16-2 victory. Considering the Panthers have won six matchups by more than seven runs this season, Tuesday's blowout was nothing new.
Alexandra Dougherty made a splash no matter where she played. On the mound, she didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only two hits while striking out ten over seven innings pitched. Those ten strikeouts gave her a new career-high. She was also solid in the batter's box, getting on base in three of her five plate appearances with two runs and one RBI.

Another player making a difference was Reagan Wimberly, who went 2-for-4 with three RBI, two runs, and one triple.
Dr. Phillips always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .533. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Wekiva only posted an OBP of .276.
The win made it two in a row for Dr. Phillips and bumps their season record up to 6-9. Those victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered a grand total of 5 runs in those games. As for Cypress Creek, their loss dropped their record down to 4-9.
Thursday's game might come down to which pitcher can control the ball better. Cypress Creek has hit smart this season, having averaged an OBP of .433. However, it's not like Dr. Phillips struggles in that department as they've averaged .455. With both teams so capable at the plate, fans should be ready for an impressive hitting performance.
