Loula McNamara was a major factor no matter where she played. She looked comfortable on the mound, not allowing a single earned run while striking out nine over seven innings pitched.

Edison has been performing well recently as they've won three of their last four matchups. That's provided a nice bump to their 4-6 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 3.0 runs on average over those games. Tesoro's victory bumped their record up to 5-3.
Tesoro's pitching crew has a crucial task ahead of them: Edison has hit smart this season, having averaged an OBP of .454. It's a different story for Tesoro, though, as they've only averaged .341. Will they be able to contain Edison's hitters?
Edison couldn't quite finish off Tesoro in their previous matchup back in February of 2024 and fell 3-1. Can Edison avenge their loss or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
