Led by a 4-for-5 outing by Kristina Burkhardt, Carolina slugged 14 hits despite falling behind early in the game to fight back for the victory. Starting pitcher Hannah George struck out four in her 13th win in 4.2 innings while Pickett closed out the game to overtake the career saves record previously held by Lisa Norris (2006-09) at 11.
