At the plate, Milenni Rodriguez was incredible, going 3-for-4 with four stolen bases, three RBI, and two runs. That's the most hits she has posted since back in March. Another player making a difference was Johanna Zamano, who went 3-for-4 with four stolen bases and two runs.

However, it's not like Eisenhower struggles in that department as they've averaged .363. With both teams so capable at the plate, fans should be ready for an impressive hitting performance.
