She has been consistent for a while: she hasn't tossed less than seven strikeouts any time she's pitched this season. She was also stellar in the batter's box, going 3-for-4 with four RBI and two doubles. That's the most doubles she has posted since back in May of 2024.

On Cory-Rawson's side, Addyson Duffman made the most of her time at bat despite the final result and went a perfect 2-for-2 with two stolen bases and two runs.
