She was even better at the plate, getting on base in three of her four plate appearances with one home run and two runs.

Tuesday's match might come down to which pitcher can control the ball better. Clearview has hit smart this season, having averaged an OBP of .438. However, it's not like Wellington struggles in that department as they've averaged .433. With both teams so capable at the plate, fans should be ready for an impressive hitting performance.
Clearview might still be hurting after the 20-4 defeat they got from Wellington in their previous matchup two weeks ago. Can the Clippers avenge their loss or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
