That result was just more of the same for these two, as the Bears also won the last time the pair played back in April of 2024.

On the hitting side, the team relied heavily on Teagan Delashmet, who scored a run and stole two bases while going 3-for-3. That's the most stolen bases she has posted since back in April of 2024. Another player making a difference was Skyler Howell, who scored a run and stole two bases while going 2-for-3.
