They were the clear victors by an 18-6 margin over the Vienna Eagles. The Reapers' hitters stepped up their game for this one, as that was the most runs they've scored all season.
Chesney Schimandle was a major factor no matter where she played. She pitched five innings while giving up just two earned (and four unearned) runs off eight hits. Those hits were her first of the season. She was also solid in the batter's box, going 3-for-4 with four RBI.
In other batting news, Plano got a massive performance out of Taylor Downs, who scored three runs and stole a base while getting on base in four of her five plate appearances.

Emily Klein also deserves some recognition as she scored her first runs of the season.
