The Galax Maroon Tide will square off against the Giles Spartans at 5:00 p.m. on Tuesday. Galax is strutting in with some hitting muscle as they've averaged 7.5 runs per game this season.
Galax took a loss when they played away from home on Tuesday, but their home fans gave them all the motivation they needed on Wednesday. They sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with a 10-8 victory over Carroll County. The high-flying hitting performance was a huge turnaround for the Maroon Tide considering their one-run performance the contest before.
Molly Plant spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered four earned (and four unearned) runs on ten hits and racked up six Ks.
On the hitting side, Maddson Bobbitt was a standout: she went 2-for-4 with three runs, three RBI, and two doubles. Elizabeth Sizemore was another key player, going 2-for-4 with one home run and two RBI.
Meanwhile, after soaring to 17 runs the game before, Giles was a bit more limited in their game on Tuesday. They lost 17-2 to Auburn. The home team had taken home the W every time these teams have met since April 16, 2024, but that streak is no more.

Giles' loss dropped their record down to 7-4. As for Galax, they moved to 4-7 with that win, which also ended their three-game losing streak.
