Thomas has been hot, having posted three or more hits the last five times she's played. Another player making a difference was Mallory Wollenmann, who went 2-for-3 with two runs, one stolen base, and two RBI.
Evansville Memorial kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 25 hits. They are 4-1 when they post 11 or more hits.

Tuesday's contest will be a test for both teams' pitchers. Jasper hasn't had any issues making contact this season, having earned a batting average of .337. However, it's not like Evansville Memorial struggles in that department as they've averaged .407. With both teams so capable at the plate, fans should be ready for an impressive hitting performance.
