On Grant Park's side, Lola Malkowski put in work no matter where she played. She looked comfortable on the mound, pitching four innings while giving up just one earned (and six unearned) runs off five hits. That's the fewest earned runs Malkowski has allowed since back in April. She was also big at the plate, getting on base in three of her four plate appearances with one run.
Malkowski wasn't the only one making solid contact as three players wound up with at least one hit. One of them was Ava Desiderio, who went 1-for-3 with one RBI.
