She was also big at the plate, getting on base in all five of her plate appearances with four runs, four RBI, and two doubles. Those runs were her first of the season.
In other batting news, Ava Brake and Addison Wagner did most of the damage at the plate: Brake got on base in all five of her plate appearances with four runs, while Wagner got on base in three of her five plate appearances with two stolen bases, three RBI, and one run. Those RBI marked the first that Wagner has brought in this season. Aeryn Horton was another key player, going 2-for-4 with three runs.
