On Tuesday, Jordan got the win against Tompkins by a conclusive 12-4. The result was nothing new for the Warriors, who have now won 13 contests by six runs or more so far this season.
Olivia Sexton spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered four earned runs on nine hits.
At the plate, the team relied heavily on Ryan McIntosh, who fired off two home runs, four runs, and three RBI while getting on base in all five of her plate appearances. That's the most home runs she has posted since back in March of 2025. The team also got some help courtesy of Madison Royse, who went 2-for-4 with two RBI, one run, and one double.
