In game two, she went 3-for-4 with four RBIs and the game-winning hit coming in the third inning. She had three RBI singles in game two which helped the Lobos to a 7-6 win.

"It was so fun watching her explode at the plate like that. It just shows what she is truly capable of and I am very proud of her," Beach said.Johnson went into last weekend hitting .306 at the plate but has improved her average to .386. She has a total of five home runs, 20 RBIs, and has a team-leading slugging percentage of .702.
