For Burlington's part, Grace Birk was a major factor no matter where she played. She looked comfortable on the mound, striking out seven batters over three innings while giving up no earned runs off one hit (and not a single walk). Birk has been consistent for a while: she hasn't given up more than one earned run in ten consecutive appearances. She was also stellar in the batter's box, going a perfect 2-for-2 with one home run, three RBI, and one double. That's the most RBI she has posted since back in March.
In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Hannah Sides, who went 1-for-2 with one home run, four RBI, and two runs. That's the most RBI she has posted since back in April of 2024. Carlee Cole also deserves some recognition as she hit her first triple of the season.
