Shelby Woods was incredible, going a perfect 4-for-4 with five runs, two stolen bases, and one triple. Those four hits gave her a new career-high. Kamryn Costa also deserves some recognition as she hit her first double of the season.

Pitman always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .700. That's the best OBP they've posted all season.

Meanwhile, Turlock got themselves on the board against Modesto last Thursday, but Modesto never followed suit. They blew past the Panthers 19-0. The Bulldogs haven't had any issues with the Panthers recently, as the game was their sixth consecutive victory against them.

Cadee Campbell made a splash no matter where she played. She looked comfortable on the mound, tossing 2.1 innings while giving up no earned runs or hits. Campbell was also big at the plate, going 2-for-4 with two RBI and one run.

In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Abby Maxwell, who fired off two home runs, six RBI, and three runs while going 2-for-4. Karley Wool was another key player, going 2-for-4 with four runs, two doubles, and one stolen base.

The win (which was Pitman's third in a row) raised their record to 8-14. The victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 15.0 runs over those games. As for Turlock, their record is now 10-14.

The pitchers for both teams better look sharp on Tuesday as neither team is afraid to steal. Pitman has been swiping bases left and right this season, having averaged 4.3 stolen bases per game. However, it's not like Turlock struggles in that department as they've been averaging an even more impressive 3.5 stolen bases. The only question left is which team can snag more.

Pitman might still be hurting after the 16-5 loss they got from Turlock in their previous meeting on April 3rd. Can the Pride avenge their defeat or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
