Like West Forsyth, Starmount also got a great game from a two-way player: Rachael Bates. She looked comfortable on the mound, striking out ten batters over seven innings while giving up just one earned run off three hits. Bates was also big at the plate, going 2-for-3 with one home run, four RBI, and two runs. Those four RBI gave her a new career-high.

West Forsyth's win bumped their record up to 13-2. As for Starmount, their victory bumped their record up to 9-5.
The batters for both teams will have to hit smart on Wednesday as both have some strikeout artists on the roster. West Forsyth has been retiring batters left and right this season, having averaged 8.3 strikeouts per game. However, it's not like Starmount struggles in that department as they've been averaging an even more impressive 8.6 strikeouts. Considering how easily both teams rack up Ks, the hitters on both teams better bring their A-game into this one.
West Forsyth got the 'W' in their previous matchup back in February of 2025 against Starmount by a conclusive 14-0 score. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Titans since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
