Annabella Venegas spent all five innings played on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered just two earned (and two unearned) runs on six hits and racked up seven Ks.
On the hitting side, Jazmine Olmos was a standout: she went 3-for-5 with two triples, three runs, and four RBI. That's the most RBI she has posted since back in April of 2024. The team also got some help courtesy of Tori Torrez, who went 2-for-3 with one home run, five RBI, and two runs.
