She looked comfortable on the mound, striking out seven batters over six innings while giving up just one earned (and one unearned) run off one hit. Koch has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't tossed less than five strikeouts in four consecutive appearances. She was also solid in the batter's box, going 1-for-3 with two runs, one triple, and two RBI. That's the most RBI she has posted since back in April.
