Cheyene Smith was a major factor while hitting and pitching. On the mound, she tossed three innings while giving up no earned runs off one hit.

Utica kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 14 hits. That's a new trend for them: they were averaging 5.2 hits per game earlier this season, but in their last 15 matchups they've averaged 12.4.
