Naderah Ali made the most of her time at bat despite the final result and went 2-for-3 with two runs, one triple, and one stolen base. She is on a roll when it comes to stolen bases, as she's now snagged at least one in each of the last six games she's played.

Meanwhile, there's no place like home for Tokay, who bounced back after a loss on the road on Tuesday. They never let Chavez get on the board and left with an 11-0 victory on Thursday. Considering the Tigers have won ten matchups by more than six runs this season, Thursday's blowout was nothing new.

Hannah Nava 2025 was a standout: she went a perfect 3-for-3 with five RBI, one run, and one double. Those five RBI gave her a new career-high. Ava Pasqualicchio 2028 was another key player, going a perfect 3-for-3 with three runs, one double, and one RBI.

Tokay always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .593. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Chavez only posted an OBP of .227.

Tokay's win was their seventh straight at home, which pushed their record up to 13-8. The home victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.0 run on average over those games. As for Edison, their loss dropped their record down to 8-13.

The pitchers for both teams better look sharp on Tuesday as neither team is afraid to steal. Edison has been swiping bases left and right this season, having averaged 4.6 stolen bases per game. However, it's not like Tokay struggles in that department as they've been averaging an even more impressive 3.2 stolen bases. The only question left is which team can snag more.

Edison might still be hurting after the 14-4 defeat they got from Tokay in their previous meeting on April 9th. Will the Vikings have more luck at home instead of on the road? Check MaxPreps after the match for a full breakdown of the game, commentary, and other softball content.
