She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't given up more than two walks in five consecutive pitching appearances. She was also big at the plate, going 2-for-3 with a home run and three RBI.
In other batting news, Chapel Hill got a massive performance out of Jayda Young, who scored three runs and stole four bases while getting on base in all three of her plate appearances. Another player making a difference was Mariah Walker, who scored three runs while going 3-for-3.
