Peyton Aanstad was a major factor while hitting and pitching. On the mound, she didn't allow a single earned run while striking out 12 over seven innings pitched. She has been consistent for a while: she hasn't tossed less than five strikeouts any time she's pitched this season. She was also stellar in the batter's box, going 3-for-4 with four RBI, two runs, and one double. Those four RBI gave her a new career-high.
Aanstad wasn't the only one making solid contact as four players wound up with at least one hit. One of them was Grace Boekenoogen, who went 2-for-4 with one run and one RBI.
Meanwhile, Cascade was not able to break out of their rough patch on Monday as the team picked up their fourth straight loss. They lost 10-3 to Lake Stevens.

She was also big at the plate, getting on base in three of her four plate appearances with one stolen base and one run.
