On the final weekend of the regular season Wong tortured the Memphis pitching staff, going 7-for-9 (.778) with four extra base hits (3 doubles, 1 home run) and five RBI. In the final game of the series, she was a perfect 4-for-4 with two doubles. Her four hits and two doubles both tied a career high. Following her red-hot weekend, Wong moved back to No. 2 nationally in batting average (.476), No. 3 in on base percentage (.571) and No. 9 in slugging percentage (.888).
Wong was also named the American Player of the Week on March 25 and Feb. 26.
