West proved they can win big on Tuesday (they won by ten) and on Wednesday they proved they can win the close ones too. They skirted past the East Leopards 10-9. For the Panthers, this counts as revenge for the 16-6 victory the Leopards walked away with the last time they faced one another back in May of 2025.
Janayah Young made a splash no matter where she played. She struck out ten batters over seven innings while giving up just two earned (and seven unearned) runs off five hits. Young was also big at the plate, going a perfect 4-for-4 with four runs, two stolen bases, and two RBI. She is on a roll when it comes to stolen bases, as she's now snagged two or more in each of the last four games she's played.
