On the hitting side, Nyah Gibbs was incredible, going a perfect 3-for-3 with one triple, one stolen base, and one run. She is on a roll when it comes to triples, as she’s now hit at least one in each of the last three games she’s played. Lea Krow was another key player, getting on base in three of her four plate appearances with one run.

As for Warwick, their loss dropped their record down to 12-8. Warriors fans who chose to attend the game sure picked the wrong one: it was the first time the team has lost against Donegal since Friday.

On Warwick’s side, they also let their pitcher toss all seven innings and she was also dialed-in: Kate Shaak gave up four earned (and one unearned) runs on nine hits and racked up nine Ks.

At the plate, MaKenzie Szobocsan was cooking despite her team’s loss, going 2-for-3 with one triple and two RBI.
