Kaylee Moody made a big impact no matter where she played. She looked comfortable on the mound, pitching five innings while giving up just one earned run off one hit. The dominant performance also gave her a new career-high in strikeouts (four). She was also solid in the batter's box, going 1-for-3 with two runs, one stolen base, and one RBI. She is on a roll when it comes to stolen bases, as she's now snagged at least one in each of the last three games she's played.
In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Kasey Sulc, who went 3-for-4 with two stolen bases, three runs, and four RBI. That's the most RBI she has posted since back in April. Riley Hacker also deserves some recognition as she hit her first double of the season.
Prince George always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .559. That was just more of the same: they've now posted an OBP of .559 or higher in three consecutive games.
