“It was a big hit fest during the game with scoring going back and forth until the last inning for Creston when their bats came alive and put up a 16 spot,” Tigers coach Tristin Johnson said. “Emma Bierbaum pitched well, but was facing a difficult Creston lineup that hammered the ball.”
Shenandoah
The Tigers were set to avenge the conference loss to Shenandoah from six days previous, but fell 8-7 with a Filly walk-off single.
