The team relied heavily on Karly Wasserman, who went 2-for-3 with three stolen bases, two runs, and two RBI. Those two runs gave her a new career-high. Makayla Hady was another key player, going 2-for-3 with three RBI, one stolen base, and one run.

Eastwood pushed their record up to 10-1 with the win, which was their third straight on the road. The road victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.0 runs on average over those games. As for Genoa Area, their loss dropped their record down to 3-7.
