The Cardinals were red-hot at the plate heading into the game (they scored no less than ten runs in the three matches prior), but the Raiders' pitcher proved too tough.

On Columbia's side, they also let their pitcher toss all six innings played and she was also dialed-in: Alina Jones gave up only one earned run on five hits and racked up eight Ks. Jones has been nothing but reliable on the mound: she hasn't tossed less than five strikeouts in four consecutive appearances.
On the hitting side, the team relied heavily on Natalie Miller, who went 2-for-4 with two stolen bases, three RBI, and one double. That's the most RBI she has posted since back in April. Grace Anderson was another key player, going 2-for-4 with two stolen bases and three runs.
