As for Columbia River, they have been performing well recently as they've won nine of their last 11 contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 10-5 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 10.9 runs over those games.
On Columbia River's side, the result came thanks to Cassity Houk's shutout, as she gave up just two hits and racked up 15 Ks.
On the hitting side, the team relied heavily on Ruby Lew, who went 3-for-4 with two runs, one triple, and two RBI. The team also got some help courtesy of Ava Pratoussy, who went 2-for-3 with three RBI, two doubles, and one run.
