Castor has gone 9-1 against Doyline recently and they'll look to pad the win column further on Monday. A feisty cat fight will be fought as Castor Tigers challenge Doyline Panthers at 4:30 p.m. Castor is strutting in with some hitting muscle as they've averaged 9.1 runs per game this season.

Erin Keel spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered three earned (and two unearned) runs on seven hits. She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't given up more than two walks in three consecutive appearances.
At the plate, Jaidyn Smith and Kaylie Shirley did most of the damage at the plate: Smith went a perfect 2-for-2 with one home run, two runs, and one double, while Shirley went 1-for-3 with one home run and two runs. That double marked the first that Smith hit this season. The team also got some help courtesy of Jenna Braggs, who went 2-for-3 with one home run.
They weren't the only ones working in the home run department: Castor lost a few balls and finished the game with three home runs. That's the most home runs they've posted since back in April of 2024.
