Another player making a difference was Kaitlyn Windau, who scored three runs and stole two bases while getting on base in all four of her plate appearances.

Looking ahead, Rocky Mountain will host Owyhee at 5:00 p.m. on Friday. The Storm will roll in looking for their 15th straight win, something the Grizzlies surely won't give up without a fight. As for Ridgevue, they will look to defend their home field on Friday against Boise at 5:00 p.m. The Brave have struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed 7.5 runs per game on average), something the Warhawks will no doubt try to take advantage of.
