Gunderson lost to Independence back in March, but they didn't allow them the same satisfaction on Wednesday. The Grizzlies had just enough and edged out the 76ers 6-5. That's two games straight that the Grizzlies have won by just one run.
Dezirae Regalado was a major factor no matter where she played. On the mound, she struck out eight batters over seven innings while giving up four earned (and one unearned) runs off five hits. Regalado was also solid in the batter's box, getting on base in three of her four plate appearances with three stolen bases and two runs. That's the most stolen bases she has posted since back in March.
In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Jaelyn Vejar, who went 1-for-3 with one triple, one stolen base, and two RBI.
