Kaylee O'Connell was a major factor no matter where she played. On the mound, she struck out ten batters over six innings while giving up just one earned run off one hit. That's the most strikeouts she has posted since back in March. She was also solid in the batter's box, going 2-for-4 with one home run.
In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Caroline Wendlinger, who went 3-for-4 with one home run, three runs, and four RBI. That's the most hits she has posted since back in April. Another player making a difference was Miah Almaguer, who got on base in all three of her plate appearances with two runs.
Munster lost a few balls and finished the game with two home runs. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now launched at least two home runs in four consecutive matchups.

Those home victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 8.3 runs over those games. As for Hobart, they moved to 10-10 with that defeat, which also ended their three-game winning streak.
Both squads are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. Munster will challenge Highland at 5:00 p.m. on Wednesday. The Mustangs' pitchers better be ready for this one: the Trojans have averaged an impressive 9.3 runs per game this season.
