At the plate, Ayla Elkins was incredible, going 3-for-4 with two stolen bases, two runs, and one double. That double marked the first that she has hit this season. The team also got some help courtesy of Sophie Werner, who went 1-for-2 with one triple and one run.

As for North Posey, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 12-11. For those keeping track at home, that's the closest defeat they have suffered since April 14th.

On North Posey's side, they also let their pitcher toss all seven innings and she was also dialed-in: Avery Sanders gave up four earned runs on seven hits.

On the hitting side, Lily Hester was cooking despite her team's loss, going 3-for-4 with two triples, one run, and one RBI.
