On Thursday Grissom's undefeated season almost came to an end. They came within a single run of losing the streak, but they secured a 2-1 W against the Thompson Warriors. This was payback for the Tigers, who suffered a 12-4 defeat the last time these two teams met.
Charlie Cassingham was a major factor while hitting and pitching. On the mound, he struck out nine batters over seven innings while giving up just one earned run off two hits (and only one walk). He has been consistent recently: he hasn't tossed less than seven strikeouts in three consecutive appearances. He was also big at the plate, scoring a run and stealing a base while going 1-for-2.
