The victory was some much needed relief for the Blue Devils as it spelled an end to their five-game losing streak.
Rylee Geer made a big impact no matter where she played. She looked comfortable on the mound, striking out nine batters over 3.2 innings while giving up three earned (and four unearned) runs off three hits. Geer was also stellar in the batter's box, going 3-for-4 with six stolen bases, four runs, and one double. Those six stolen bases gave her a new career-high.

That's the most runs Green has posted since back in March.
