Ralston let Addie Aude and Lucy Bodnar run wild. Aude went a perfect 2-for-2 with one home run, four RBI, and two runs, while Bodnar went 2-for-3 with one home run, four RBI, and one double. That home run marked the first that Aude has launched this season. Another player making a difference was Maddie Ochsner, who went 2-for-3 with two doubles, one stolen base, and one run.
