The high-flying hitting performance was a huge turnaround for the Blue Devils considering their one-run performance the matchup before.
Anna Summers made a big impact while hitting and pitching. On the mound, she struck out seven batters over three innings while giving up no earned runs or hits (and not a single walk).

In other batting news, the team relied heavily on J Phillips, who went a perfect 3-for-3 with four RBI and two runs. Those RBI were her first of the season.
