Mattie Carney made a splash no matter where she played. She tossed three innings while giving up no earned runs off three hits. She has been consistent : she hasn't tossed less than five strikeouts in five consecutive appearances. She was also big at the plate, scoring two runs and stealing a base while going 2-for-4. She also brought in an RBI, marking her first of the season.

Oak Glen's victory was their fourth straight at home, which pushed their record up to 12-6. Those home wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 3.0 runs on average over those games.
