That's the most hits she has posted since back in April.
In other batting news, Hannah Tober and Kendall White did most of the damage at the plate: Tober got on base in three of her four plate appearances with three runs, while White went 2-for-3 with two RBI and one run. Libby Britt also deserves some recognition as she snagged her first stolen base of the season.
