Chloe Purgason tossed a big game, not allowing a single earned run over five innings pitched.
On the hitting side, the team relied heavily on Brinley Parker, who went 2-for-3 with two triples, five RBI, and two runs. Those five RBI gave her a new career-high. The team also got some help courtesy of Grayce Marvel, who got on base in three of her four plate appearances with three RBI, one stolen base, and one run.
