It was a cold, frigid and rainy day but the battle of the Tigers was won by Westville. The Westville Tigers scored 28 runs in just 3 innings and allowed 0 runs on pitching/defense. The Tigers threw 4 pitchers at Urbana and they all did what they were supposed to do with combining for a shutout. The final pitcher, Braxton Barrett, faced 3 batters and struck out all 3 and this earned him the Defensive Player of the Game. At the plate, there were many players with multiple hits/RBIs so this made it hard to name the Offensive Player of the Game.

This effort earned Ean Jones the Offensive Player of the Game. The Westville Tigers record is now 4-7 and the team travels to Hoopeston on Mon to open up the VVC.
