On Spring's side, Brylynn Rickert was a major factor while hitting and pitching. On the mound, she struck out ten batters over four innings while giving up just one earned run off three hits (and only one walk). Those ten strikeouts gave Rickert a new career-high. She was also big at the plate, getting on base in all four of her plate appearances with one RBI.
