She has been consistent for a while: she hasn't given up more than two walks in ten consecutive appearances. She was also big at the plate, going 2-for-3 with one home run, two runs, and two RBI.

In other batting news, Brianna Cloud was a standout: she got on base in four of her five plate appearances with one home run, four runs, and three RBI. The dominant performance gave her a new career-high in runs. Madilynn Russell was another key player, going 2-for-4 with one home run, five RBI, and one double.
