Rhodes reached base three times. In addition to her home run, she was struck by a pitch and also reached on an error.

We came into with the strategy of staying active and doing what we might to find in and also give them a battle, as well as I think that's what we did as well as came away with the win.

" I was really happy with the ladies for not backing down. Manteca is a great team, there's no refuting it, however they really did not pull back in all. They was available in from the get-go playing hard, which's precisely what we required to do."
