She looked comfortable on the mound, striking out 13 batters over seven innings while giving up just two earned runs off eight hits (and not a single walk). Those 13 strikeouts gave her a new career-high. She was also solid in the batter's box, scoring two runs and stealing a base while going 2-for-2. She is on a roll when it comes to stolen bases, as she's now snagged at least one in each of the last four games she's played.

Oasis is on a roll lately: they've won three of their last four matchups. That's provided a nice bump to their 12-8 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 3.8 runs on average over those games. As for Babcock, their defeat ended a three-game streak of wins at home and dropped them to 13-5.
