— Women's Pro Baseball League (@wpbl_official) August 10, 2026The story heading into this match, and really the story of the season as a whole so far, is whether or not anyone is able to stop Heights catcher Denae Benites. In only four games so far this season Benites has an .824/.778/1.706 slash line with six steals and 15 RBI. Benites has hit a home run in every Heights game so far, including two on Saturday.

— Women's Pro Baseball League (@wpbl_official) August 10, 2026The Hunters will need to find some way to neutralize her bat if they want to earn a win in this third game and come back to within a game of a .500 record. Whether or not you are supporting the Heights, Benites at bats have become appointment viewing for anyone interested in the WPBL at all.
