Pitkin had lost four straight on the road, but on Tuesday they dropped down to 8-7 to make it five. They came up short against the Hicks Pirates, falling 15-5. The result was an unpleasant reminder to the Tigers of the 18-3 loss they experienced in the pair's previous head-to-head fixture back in April of 2025.
As for Hicks, they have been performing incredibly well recently as they've won 11 of their last 12 matchups. That's provided a nice bump to their 18-2 record this season. They might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won 14 games by six runs or more this season.
For Hicks' part, Courtlyn Dousay was a major factor while hitting and pitching. She struck out ten batters over five innings while giving up just one earned (and four unearned) runs off four hits. Dousay has been consistent: she hasn't tossed less than six strikeouts in five consecutive appearances. She was also big at the plate, going a perfect 4-for-4 with one home run, three runs, and three RBI. That's the most hits she has posted since back in March of 2025.
In other batting news, Abby Addison was incredible, going a perfect 3-for-3 with one home run, six RBI, and three runs. She has been hot recently, having posted at least one home run the last four times she's played. Another player making a difference was Jayde Wilbanks, who went a perfect 3-for-3 with three runs, two doubles, and one RBI.
While Pitkin had to take the loss, they won't have to wait long to give it another shot: the pair will be back at it again later today.
