They put the hurt on the Elizabeth Bulldogs with a sharp 22-4 win. The result was nothing new for the Tigers, who have now won nine contests by seven runs or more so far this season.

Rylee Gunter made a splash while hitting and pitching. On the mound, she tossed three innings while giving up just two earned (and two unearned) runs off one hit. The dominant performance also gave her a new career-high in strikeouts (five). She was also solid in the batter's box, scoring two runs while going 1-for-2.

Many always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .710. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Elizabeth only posted an OBP of .357.

Many has been performing well recently as they've won ten of their last 12 matches. That's provided a nice bump to their 15-8 record this season.
