Joanah Rosander spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered just two earned (and 13 unearned) runs on 15 hits and racked up seven Ks.
On the hitting side, Sophie Olive made the most of her time at bat despite the final result and scored a run while getting on base in three of her five plate appearances. Anna Davis also deserves some recognition as she hit her first double of the season.

Friday's matchup might come down to which pitcher can control the ball better. Wahkiakum has hit smart this season, having averaged an OBP of .586. However, it's not like Ocosta struggles in that department as they've averaged .497. With both teams so capable at the plate, fans should be ready for an impressive hitting performance.
Wahkiakum came up short against Ocosta in their previous meeting back in March, falling 12-8. Can the Mules avenge their defeat or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
