She has been consistent: she hasn't given up more than one walk in five consecutive appearances. She was also solid in the batter's box, going 2-for-3 with one stolen base and one RBI.

Tuesday's game will be a test for both teams' pitchers. Hagerstown hasn't had any issues making contact this season, having earned a batting average of .407. However, it's not like Northeastern struggles in that department as they've averaged .360. With both teams so capable at the plate, fans should be ready for an impressive hitting performance.
Hagerstown was able to grind out a solid victory over Northeastern in their previous matchup two weeks ago, winning 3-0. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Tigers since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
