There's no place like home for Dripping Springs, who bounced back after a loss on the road last Monday. Everything went their way against the Westlake Chaparrals on Tuesday as Dripping Springs made off with an 8-2 victory. Considering the Tigers have won nine matchups by more than five runs this season, Tuesday's blowout was nothing new.

Sadie Bradford spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered just two earned runs on five hits and racked up eight Ks. She has been consistent recently: she hasn't given up more than two walks in three consecutive appearances.

At the plate, Lillian Wearden was excellent, scoring two runs and stealing a base while going 2-for-3. That's the most runs she has posted since back in February. Another player making a difference was Lorelei Gamble, who got on base in two of her four plate appearances with one stolen base and one RBI.

Dripping Springs is on a roll lately: they've won six of their last eight games. That's provided a nice bump to their 16-6-1 record this season. Westlake is on a four-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 10-9.

Coincidentally, Dripping Springs and Westlake will both be playing Akins the next time they take the field. Dripping Springs will host Akins at 7:00 p.m. on Friday, while Westlake will head out to face them at 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday.
