The Brush Arcs will take on the Madison Blue Streaks at 5:00 p.m. on Wednesday. One thing working in Brush's favor is that they have posted at least ten runs in their last eight matches.

She was also big at the plate, going 2-for-3 with one home run, three runs, and three RBI. That home run was her first of the season.
