Taylor Odom steeped up for the Racers in game two and went a perfect 3-for-3 with a run, a double and three RBIs. Paired with her 1-for-1 with a walk performance in game one, Odom finished the day as the only Racer to be perfect at the plate. Twaddle followed up her perfect performance earlier in the day, by going 1-for-2 with a run and a walk in game two.
