Furthermore, she didn't allow a single earned run, the first time she has blanked an opponent since back in April of 2024. She was also big at the plate, going a perfect 3-for-3 with one home run, five RBI, and two runs. That's the most runs she has posted since back in April of 2024.

Leadership Academy always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .840. That's the best OBP they've posted all season.

Both squads will have to hit the road in their upcoming games. Leadership Academy will head out to challenge Atkins at 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday.
