Victor Alcantara struck out a pair in the ninth to pick up his first save. Christin Stewart once again powered the offense, cracking a three run shot in the eighth inning to break a scoreless deadlock and provide the margin of victory.
Stewart: 1-4, HR, R, 3 RBI, SO
Castro: 2-3, 2 SO
Turley (W): 8.0 IP, 2 H, 0 ER, 3 BB, 2 SO
