Smithfield barely beat Tabb the last time the pair played, but that sure wasn't the case this time around. The Packers' pitcher stepped up to hand the Tigers a 7-0 shutout on Wednesday. The result was nothing new for the Packers, who have now won seven games by seven runs or more so far this season.

Kayla Young was a major factor no matter where she played. She didn't allow a single earned run while striking out six over seven innings pitched. That's the most strikeouts she has posted since back in March. She was also stellar in the batter's box, going 2-for-4 with one home run and four RBI.

In other batting news, Chloe Colbert was excellent, going a perfect 3-for-3 with two stolen bases and two RBI. That's the most stolen bases she has posted since back in March.

Smithfield kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 11 hits. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Tabb only managed five.

Smithfield has been performing well recently as they've won four of their last five contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 10-6 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 3.0 runs on average over those games. As for Tabb, they are on a four-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 5-12.

We've got plenty of inter-region action coming up soon. Smithfield is set to take on their familiar foe Grafton at 4:30 p.m. on Friday. Meanwhile, Tabb will challenge rival York at 4:30 p.m. on Friday.
