Ariel Ramirez made a splash while hitting and pitching. On the mound, she struck out nine batters over three innings while giving up no earned runs or hits (and only one walk). That's the fewest hits she has allowed since back in March of 2024. She was also big at the plate, scoring a run and stealing a base while going 1-for-3. That stolen base marked the first that she snagged this season.

She also put up a triple, which was her first of the season. Another player making a difference was Ryleigh Grace, who scored three runs and stole a base while going 2-for-3.
Fort Meade kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 11 hits. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now got at least nine hits every time they've taken the field this season.
Fort Meade's win was their third straight on the road, which pushed their record up to 4-1. The wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.3 runs on average over those games.
