That's the most strikeouts she has posted since back in March. She was also big at the plate, getting on base in four of her five plate appearances with one double and one RBI.

Calvert has been performing incredibly well recently as they've won seven of their last eight matchups. That's provided a nice bump to their 10-2 record this season.

However, it's not like Calvert struggles in that department as they've been averaging only 4.6 hits. With both teams so capable at the plate, fans should be ready for an impressive hitting performance.
Liberty-Benton came out on top in a nail-biter against Calvert in their previous meeting back in April of 2024, sneaking past 4-3. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Eagles since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
