Bayer saw time in 26 contests with five starts on the season, tossing 70.1 total innings and allowing 65 hits with 40 strikeouts and an opponent batting average of .245. She also made the most out of her five plate appearance, hitting a pair of homeruns to drive in four RBI for a slugging percentage of 1.600 on the season.
