Dostall also made a relief appearance on Tuesday afternoon in a 2-1 loss to Rhodes (Tenn.) College where she allowed no runs on four hits with two strikeouts in five innings.

This season, Dostall has made three appearances and has a record of 1-1 with a 1.91 earned run average (ERA) in 18.1 innings of action. She has allowed six runs (five earned) on 15 hits with 10 strikeouts and just five walks.
