With a playoff win on the line, Greencastle rose to the challenge on Tuesday. They sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with a 4-3 victory over the Parke Heritage Wolves. That's two games straight that the Tiger Cubs have won by just one run.
Ali Hassler spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered three earned runs on six hits and racked up 11 Ks. She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't given up more than two walks in five consecutive appearances.
On the hitting side, the team relied heavily on Brooklyn Boyd, who went 2-for-3 with two runs, one stolen base, and one double. Those two runs gave her a new career-high. Makenzie Creviston also deserves some recognition as she hit her first triple of the season.
