Meanwhile, after soaring to ten runs the game before, Girard was a bit more limited in their matchup on Tuesday. They took a 3-0 hit to the loss column at the hands of Hubbard. The game marked the first time this season in which the Indians were not able to get on the board.
Brooklyn Broll spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered three runs (all of which were unearned) on seven hits.

The pitchers for both teams better look sharp on Thursday as neither team is afraid to steal. Springfield has been swiping bases left and right this season, having averaged 2.8 stolen bases per game. However, it's not like Girard struggles in that department as they've been averaging an even more impressive 2.7 stolen bases. The only question left is which team can snag more.
Springfield beat Girard 8-4 in their previous meeting back in April of 2019. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Tigers since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
