Temple barely beat Armuchee the last time the pair played, but that sure wasn't the case this time around. The Tigers put the hurt on the Indians with a sharp 12-2 win on Thursday. Considering the Tigers' hitters had been struggling lately, the high-scoring outing was a much-needed turnaround.
Jackson Gribben and Braylon Harmon made a big impact while hitting and pitching. On the mound, Gribben pitched 1.1 innings while giving up no earned runs or hits. Meanwhile, Harmon struck out seven batters over four innings while giving up just two earned runs off five hits (and only one walk). What's more, Gribben posted two strikeouts, the most he's had since back in February of 2025. At the plate, Gribben went 3-for-4 with one stolen base, two RBI, and one double, while Harmon got on base in three of his four plate appearances with two runs.
In other batting news, Brody Dempsey was a standout: he went 3-for-5 with five RBI, two doubles, and one run. Those two doubles gave him a new career-high. Another player making a difference was N Walker, who went a perfect 3-for-3 with two runs, two RBI, and one double.
