Two weeks ago, Stewart and Moultrie helped the United States to a championship at the World Cup of Softball X. The Stars and Stripes won the event for the eighth time in the event's 10-year history. Moultrie captured gold in a World Cup for the fourth time in her five-year career with Team USA (also: 2011, 2012, 2014), and Stewart earned a medal for the third consecutive year after she won silver at the 2013 ISF X Junior Women's World Championship and a gold at last year's General Tire World Cup of Softball IX with the USA team.
Stewart appeared in all of Team USA's eight games during the week in Irvine, compiling a .350 batting average with seven runs scored, three RBI, two extra-base hits and two stolen bases. Meanwhile, Moultrie played in each game as well and scored eight runs, recorded five walks and hit .250.
