Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Berkner). They blew past the MacArthur Cardinals 22-7 on Wednesday. That result was just more of the same for these two, as the Rams also won the last time the pair played back in March of 2024.

Finch got on base in all six of her plate appearances with five RBI, two runs, and one triple, while Morgan Williams went a perfect 5-for-5 with three RBI, two runs, and two doubles. Those five hits gave Morgan Williams a new career-high. The team also got some help courtesy of Kinley Akeman, who scored four runs and stole two bases while getting on base in five of her six plate appearances.
