It's the first time in Stillman softball history that the Tigers have beaten the perennial softball powerhouse, before dropping the second game in a doubleheader 1-0. The win also marks the first 20-win season for the Tigers since 2015.

Hueytown product Faith Byram (8-1) logged the win on the mound, giving the freshman pitcher her second Top-20 win in the same week, following a win over William Carey on Thursday.

Byram surrendered only one hit in the last four innings on her way to a complete-game win, holding Mobile to three hits and allowing only one walk. It was also a democratic win on the defensive side, as Byram struck out only two in the shutout win, but was backed by strong work in the field.

At the plate, Alabaster native Madison Bubel and Hueytown's Katelynn Lankford each had two hits in the victory for the Tigers, while Bailie Seales (Centreville), Mackenzie Kirby (Hueytown) and Anniston Jones (Springville) each had one hit.

The Tigers will be back in action at home on Wednesday when Stillman hosts Mississippi University for Women on Wednesday for a 2 p.m. doubleheader.
