      Mitchell hit .291 with four doubles and 13 RBI. She also had a strong year defensively at catcher, recording 15 assists and only three errors.
      Harrison hit .224 with four doubles, a triple, nine runs and 11 RBI. She played at third base most of the season, picking up 17 putouts, and she also went 3-7 with a 4.48 earned-run average and 53 strikeouts against just four walks in 61 innings of work at pitcher.
