Trinity Acla was another key player, scoring two runs while going 2-for-3.

Brynsen Vargason was incredible, going a perfect 3-for-3 with two runs, one triple, and one stolen base. That's the most hits she has posted since back in April of 2024. Kynlee Kunkle also deserves some recognition as she hit her first double of the season.

The pitchers for both teams better look sharp on Thursday as neither team is afraid to steal. Canton has been swiping bases left and right this season, having averaged 6.2 stolen bases per game.
