Emma Dixon was a major factor while hitting and pitching. She tossed an inning while giving up no earned runs or hits. What's more, she also racked up three strikeouts, the mostshe's had since back in September of 2023. She was even better at the plate, scoring three runs while going 2-for-2.

What's more, Shoemake also racked up three hits, the mostshe's had since back in September. Another player making a difference was Isabel Reinebach, who went 4-for-4 with three runs and four RBI.
