Lexi Montalban was a major factor no matter where she played.

She was also stellar in the batter's box, going a perfect 2-for-2 with three RBI and two runs. That's the most RBI she has posted since back in April of 2024.

Those two RBI gave Belmont-Gomez a new career-high. Jaeda Viveiros also deserves some recognition as she got her first hits of the season.
