El Paso managed to slip by Burges the last time these teams faced off, but didn't have those same answers this time around. El Paso wound up with the same score they had in their last game (10-4), but sadly the team found themselves on the wrong side of the score this time.

Giovanna Navarro spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered three runs (all of which were unearned) on eight hits. She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't given up more than one walk in four consecutive appearances.
