Rachel Wildman made a splash while hitting and pitching. On the mound, she struck out seven batters over seven innings while giving up just two earned runs off five hits (and not a single walk).

Wildman wasn't the only one making solid contact as three players wound up with at least one hit. One of them was Danika Morris, who went 1-for-3 with two RBI and one double. That's the most RBI Morris has posted since back in March of 2024.
