The Jackson Ironman/Ironladies will challenge the Circleville Tigers at 5:00 p.m. on Tuesday. Circleville took a loss in their last contest and will be looking to turn the tables on Jackson, who comes in off a win.
Jackson proved they can win big on Saturday (they won by six) and on Monday they proved they can win the close ones too. They sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with a 4-3 win over Point Pleasant. For those keeping track at home, that's the closest victory the Ironman/Ironladies have posted since April 9, 2024.
Serenity Taylor spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered just two earned (and one unearned) runs on five hits and racked up seven Ks.
At the plate, the team relied heavily on Aaliyah Barnett, who scored a run while going 2-for-3. What's more, she posted two RBI, the most she's had since back in April of 2024. Maddie Wright was another key player, going 1-for-4 with one triple and one RBI.
Meanwhile, Circleville had to hit the road for their first game and it wasn't the result they were hoping for. They lost 12-2 to Notre Dame on Monday. For those keeping track at home, that's the biggest loss the Tigers have suffered since April 19, 2024.
Circleville saw three different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Kayla Fleck, who went 2-for-3 with one stolen base, one double, and one RBI. Another was Claire Davis, who went 1-for-2 with one double and one RBI.
