Elkins proved they can win big on Saturday (they won by 15) and on Monday they proved they can win the close ones too. They narrowly escaped with a victory as the team sidled past the East Fairmont Bees 7-6. That result was just more of the same for these two, as the Tigers also won the last time the pair played back in May of 2025.

That's the most hits Riffle has posted since back in May of 2025. Madyson Shreve also deserves some recognition as she hit her first double of the season.
