The Lady Tigers put up a quick run in the top of the 1st Tuesday night at Novinger, but they didn't score again until a 3-run 5th. Meanwhile, Novinger scored 4 in the 2nd, 2 in the 3rd, 1 in the 4th, and 2 in the 5th on their way to a 9-4 win. Averi Acton had 3 hits for Brashear, Emily Mason and Harli Mihalovich had 2 hits each, and Alexa Higgins and Hailey Lawrence also had hits. Acton got the start for Brashear.

The baseball game was a pitcher's duel as neither team scored until the 5th when some sloppy defense by Brashear allowed Novinger to score a pair of unearned runs. Brashear scored a run in the 6th, but fell short by a final score of 2-1. Jacob Bleything had 3 hits for Brashear, Colt Acton and Zane Sykes had 2 hits each, and Wyatt Reeves also had a hit. Bleything went the distance on the mound for Brashear, retiring the 1st 13 batters he faced, and striking out 11 on the night.
