At the plate, Widefield got a big performance out of Taylor Hall, who went 1-for-3 with two runs, two RBI, and one double. Another player making a difference was Evelyn Ibarra, who got on base in two of her four plate appearances with two runs, one stolen base, and two RBI.

Widefield hit smart and finished the game with only two strikeouts. The team has now struck out at least five batters in three consecutive matchups.

Widefield has been performing incredibly well recently as they've won 14 of their last 15 games. That's provided a nice bump to their 23-3 record this season. As for Palisade, they have been struggling recently as they've lost four of their last five contests. That's put a noticeable dent in their 14-11 record this season.
