Woodside's first victory this season bumped their record up to 1-2. The high-flying hitting performance was a huge turnaround for they considering their two-run performance the game before.
For Woodside's part, Hannah Swift was a major factor while hitting and pitching. She looked comfortable on the mound, striking out 15 batters over six innings while giving up eight earned (and two unearned) runs off eight hits. Swift has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't tossed less than six strikeouts any time she's pitched this season.
