She struck out 11 batters over six innings while giving up just two earned (and three unearned) runs off eight hits (and only one walk). She has been nothing but reliable on the mound: she hasn't given up more than two walks in three consecutive appearances. She was also stellar in the batter's box, going 2-for-3 with one home run, three RBI, and one double. That home run marked the first that she has launched this season.

Dixon has been hot recently, having posted at least one stolen base the last four times she's played. Another was Jasmine Weaver, who got on base in all three of her plate appearances with one run.
