At the plate, Cailee Carr and Bella Thomas did most of the damage at the plate: Carr got on base in all four of her plate appearances with one home run and two runs, while Thomas went a perfect 2-for-2 with one home run, three RBI, and one double. That's the most hits Thomas has posted since back in March. Another player making a difference was Maddison Misuraca, who went 2-for-4 with one triple, one stolen base, and one run.
