She was even better at the plate, firing off two home runs, six RBI, and three runs while going 4-for-5. Those runs were her first of the season.

In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Jana Batson, who went 2-for-4 with one home run, three runs, and two RBI. That home run marked the first that she has launched this season. The team also got some help courtesy of Marlee Poupard, who went 2-for-3 with two runs, one stolen base, and one RBI.
