Those three runs gave her a new career-high. Another player making a difference was Abigail Garcia, who scored three runs while going 1-for-3.

East Bernard is on a roll lately: they've won ten of their last 11 games. That's provided a nice bump to their 16-7 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 10.6 runs over those games.
