Brown scored three runs and stole three bases while getting on base in four of her five plate appearances, while Herring scored three runs and stole four bases while getting on base in three of her four plate appearances. Those four stolen bases gave Herring a new career-high. Olivia Lieb was another key player, scoring three runs and stealing three bases while getting on base in three of her four plate appearances.
