If the Tigers were looking for revenge after losing 6-2 to the Eagles when the teams met back in March of 2023, then they'll just have to keep looking.

The victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 8.9 runs over those games.

On Templeton's side, they also let their pitcher toss all seven innings and she was also dialed-in: Tegan Jay gave up a run (which was unearned) on seven hits. Jay has been nothing but reliable on the mound: she hasn't given up more than two walks in seven consecutive appearances.

At the plate, Whitney Moore was excellent, going 1-for-3 with two runs and one triple.
