Moira Falli made a big impact no matter where she played. On the mound, she pitched three innings while giving up just one earned run off two hits. Falli was also solid in the batter's box, getting on base in three of her five plate appearances with three stolen bases and one run. Those three stolen bases gave her a new career-high.
In other batting news, Peyton Martin and Maddie Wainwright did most of the damage at the plate: Martin went 2-for-3 with two triples, two runs, and one stolen base, while Wainwright got on base in all four of her plate appearances with three stolen bases and two runs. Those two triples gave Martin a new career-high. Sofia Beals also deserves some recognition as she snagged her first stolen base of the season.
