On the mound, she struck out eight batters over seven innings while giving up just two earned (and five unearned) runs off 11 hits (and not a single walk).

Dege went 2-for-4 with three RBI, two runs, and one stolen base, while Koppel went 2-for-3 with two stolen bases and three runs. That's the most stolen bases Koppel has posted since back in August of 2024. The team also got some help courtesy of Lucy Arjona, who went 2-for-4 with two runs and one stolen base.

The victory got Walker back to even at 3-3. As for McEachern, they are on a three-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 3-5.

Coming up, Walker will square off against St. Francis at 5:30 p.m. on Thursday.
