While Griffith put up some runs on Tuesday, the same can't be said for Whiting. The Panthers were the clear victors by a 7-0 margin over the Oilers. Considering the Panthers have won seven matches by more than six runs this season, Tuesday's blowout was nothing new.

She looked comfortable on the mound, keeping things locked down with no earned runs or hits while striking out 14 over seven innings pitched. Those 14 strikeouts gave her a new career-high. She was also big at the plate, going 2-for-4 with two RBI and one double.

That's the most stolen bases she has posted over her last 12 games. Addie Kubaszak was another key player, getting on base in three of her four plate appearances with two runs.

The victory was the sixth in a row for Griffith, bringing their record up to 13-5. Those wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.0 runs on average over those games. As for Whiting, they are on a four-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 6-8.
