The Rockets blew past the Tigers 10-0. The win continues a trend for the Rockets in their matchups with the Tigers: they've now won six in a row.
The team relied heavily on Jenna Adkins, who went 1-for-3 with one home run and three RBI. That home run marked the first that she has launched this season. Lindy Bates was another key player, going a perfect 2-for-2 with two runs, one double, and one RBI.
They weren't the only ones making solid contact: Tolono Unity kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 12 hits. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Urbana only managed one hit.
