Kloey Basinger was a major factor while hitting and pitching. She looked comfortable on the mound, tossing three innings while giving up no earned runs off four hits. She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't given up more than two walks in five consecutive appearances. She was even better at the plate, going 2-for-3 with two triples, five RBI, and two runs. Those five RBI gave her a new career-high.
