Grant dropped their record down to 8-12 on Tuesday, which also ended the team's four-game streak of wins. They took a 12-7 hit to the loss column at the hands of the Cleveland Warriors. Unfortunately, that's the third time they've come up short against the Warriors this season, with their most recent loss being a 6-5 defeat back in April.

Abigail Butler was cooking despite her team's loss, going 1-for-3 with one home run and two RBI. That home run was her first of the season. Another player making a difference was Nora DuLong, who went 2-for-4 with two runs and one RBI.

As for Cleveland, they pushed their record up to 10-12 with the win, which was their sixth straight at home. Those home victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 10.5 runs over those games.

On Cleveland's side, Jillian Lee made a splash no matter where she played. She looked comfortable on the mound, striking out 11 batters over seven innings while giving up just two earned (and five unearned) runs off seven hits. Lee has been consistent for a while: she hasn't given up more than two walks in 11 consecutive appearances. She was also big at the plate, going 2-for-3 with three runs and one triple. Those three runs gave her a new career-high.

In other batting news, Cleveland let Clara Waldron and Vivian Schroedel run wild. Waldron went 3-for-5 with two stolen bases, two RBI, and one run, while Schroedel got on base in four of her five plate appearances with three RBI, two runs, and one stolen base. That's the most RBI Schroedel has posted since back in April. The team also got some help courtesy of Simone Chance, who got on base in three of her five plate appearances with three RBI and one double.
