It may have taken eight innings to finish the job, but West Blocton ultimately got the result they hoped for on Monday. They narrowly escaped with a victory as the team sidled past the Pelham Panthers 11-10. That result was just more of the same for these two, as the Tigers also won the last time the pair played back in April of 2025.
Khloey Forsythe made a splash no matter where she played. She pitched two innings while giving up just one earned run but no hits. She has been nothing but reliable on the mound: she hasn't given up more than two walks in four consecutive appearances. She was also stellar in the batter's box, going 1-for-3 with three RBI, one triple, and one run. That triple was her first of the season.
Forsythe wasn't the only one making solid contact as six players wound up with at least one hit. One of them was Ralyn Irvin, who went 4-for-5 with three RBI and one run. That run marked the first that Irvin has scored this season. Another was Ella Jones, who went 1-for-3 with two runs.
