Maddilyn Bomareto made a big impact no matter where she played. She looked comfortable on the mound, pitching two innings while giving up no earned runs off one hit. The dominant performance gave her a new career-high in hits. She was also big at the plate, going 4-for-6 with five RBI and two doubles.
