15 must be Castor's lucky number: they beat Lakeview with that score not once but twice on Friday. The Tigers didn't even let the Gators on the board, marking the Tigers' second-straight 15-0 shutout. Considering the Tigers have won seven matchups by more than 12 runs this season, Friday's blowout was nothing new.

Caroline Bolyer looked comfortable as she didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only two hits while striking out six over four innings pitched. Those six strikeouts gave her a new career-high.

At the plate, the team relied heavily on Malorie Cooper, who scored three runs and stole four bases while getting on base in all three of her plate appearances. That's the most runs she has posted since back in February of 2024. The team also got some help courtesy of Veda Keel, who went 2-for-3 with four RBI and two runs.

The victory made it two in a row for Castor and bumps their season record up to 10-8. The wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered a grand total of 0 runs in those games. As for Lakeview, they dropped their record down to 2-16 with the loss, which was their sixth straight at home.

Both teams will have to hit the road in their upcoming games. Castor will challenge Lakeside at 5:00 p.m. on Monday. The Tigers' pitchers better be ready for this one: the Warriors have averaged an impressive 7.9 runs per game this season. As for Lakeview, they will face off against Doyline at 12:00 p.m. on Saturday.
