Bringing a .386 team batting average and a team on base percentage of .433, the Dawson County Lady Tigers (2–5) hoped that their Thursday, Aug. 23 game against the Cherokee Bluff Bears (2–5) would be the one where their aggressiveness at the plate would finally pay off. Senior Maggie Schandera took the mound marking her eighth start of the season. Featuring a ratio of 33 strike-outs to seven walks over the season and an ERA of 4.89, Schandera kept the ball low in the strike zone and, along with solid infield play, retired the side in seven pitches.
