Gabby Veighey made a big impact no matter where she played. On the mound, she struck out six batters over seven innings while giving up six earned runs off ten hits (and only one walk). Veighey was also stellar in the batter's box, going 3-for-4 with three RBI, one run, and one double.

Kamiak is on a roll lately: they've won seven of their last eight matches. That's provided a nice bump to their 11-4 record this season.

Fans could be in store for some top-tier slugging on Monday. Snohomish hasn't had any problems when it comes to power this season, having averaged 0.4 home runs per game. However, it's not like Kamiak struggles in that department as they've been averaging an even more impressive 0.5 home runs. With so much power on both teams, it'll be down to the pitchers to keep the mound locked down.
Snohomish might still be hurting after the 12-3 loss they got from Kamiak when the teams last played back in March. Can the Panthers avenge their defeat or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
