For Lockwood's part, Kallie Griffin was a major factor while hitting and pitching. She looked comfortable on the mound, not allowing a single earned run and allowing only one hit while striking out 12 over seven innings pitched. Griffin has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't given up more than two walks in 18 consecutive appearances. She was also stellar in the batter's box, getting on base in all four of her plate appearances with one home run and three runs. That home run marked the first that she has launched this season.
