The Brickies’ offense showed balance and depth, with Riley Weber leading the charge by going 3‑for‑4 with four RBIs, including a double that helped spark Hobart’s middle‑inning push. Nora Hornak added two hits and scored three times, while Addi Gaffin crossed the plate three times as well, giving Hobart consistent traffic on the bases. Alexis Coons and Aurora Ciesielski each drove in two runs, and Alexis Turley chipped in a hit and two runs scored as Hobart built momentum with a four‑run fifth inning followed by a five‑run sixth.
On the bases, Hobart’s aggressiveness paid off, highlighted by five total stolen bases, including three from Hornak. Defensively, the Brickies were steady, posting a .917 fielding percentage with clean work from Weber, Turley, Gaffin, and others.
