On Shelby's side, Jordan Wolting was a major factor while hitting and pitching. She pitched three innings while giving up no earned runs off three hits. Wolting was also stellar in the batter's box, going a perfect 3-for-3 with three runs, four RBI, and one stolen base. Those four RBI gave her a new career-high.
In other batting news, Jayna Burmeister was incredible, getting on base in all four of her plate appearances with four runs, two stolen bases, and three RBI. She is on a roll when it comes to stolen bases, as she's now snagged at least one in each of the last four games she's played.
