The Bears were red-hot at the plate heading into the matchup (they scored no less than ten runs in the four contests prior), but the Tigers' pitcher proved too tough.

As for South View, they are on a roll lately: they've won five of their last six games. That's provided a nice bump to their 17-5 record this season. For those keeping track at home, that's the closest win they have posted since April 25, 2024.

On South View's side, they also let their pitcher toss all seven innings and she was also dialed-in: JORDYNN PARNELL gave up only one earned run on four hits and racked up 11 Ks. PARNELL has been nothing but reliable on the mound: she hasn't tossed less than six strikeouts in 13 consecutive appearances.

At the plate, PAIGE FORD was excellent, going 2-for-3 with one home run.
