They were the clear victors by a 17-5 margin over Groton on Monday. Considering the Blue Devils have won four contests by more than five runs this season, Monday's blowout was nothing new.
Alexis Freier was a major factor no matter where she played. She looked comfortable on the mound, pitching six innings while giving up just one earned (and four unearned) runs off five hits. Freier was also big at the plate, getting on base in all four of her plate appearances with four runs and one stolen base. She is on a roll when it comes to stolen bases, as she's now snagged at least one in each of the last three games she's played.
