Jasmine's Gators scored a thrilling Twenty20 victory against Nirranda.
They made 4/87 before the Knights managed 5/76.
Jasmine collected 1/9 from her three overs.
The 15-year-old described the energy in the field as awesome.
"It was so much fun and all the girls were up and about," she said.
Jasmine enjoys bowling most.
"Just the aspect of being able to make a massive difference in the game by getting a really good batter out," she said of why she likes it.
"It's all the physics and trigonometry and where you place the ball - I really enjoy that.
"And seeing my teammates faces after I get a wicket is really good."
The teenager said watching other girls and women do well motivated her to keep improving at her sport.
"Seeing women out there playing sport at the highest level you possibly could, I think that inspires me to go further," she said.
"Even my own teammates and seeing them all improve and having a lot of fun with the game - whereas we couldn't a couple of years ago.
"It was just the boys team you could be in."
She explained under 14 girls and under 17 girls WDCA competitions were only introduced in recent years.
Jasmine said she looked up to the likes of Aussie players Megan Schutt, Ellyse Perry and Alyssa Healy.
"Even Mortlake's Georgia Wareham, seeing her come from a small town to playing at the highest grade is awesome," she said.
Jasmine had a blast at her first under 16 girls country week this year at Hamilton.
She was part of a premiership team after her side went through undefeated.
"Country week is just awesome and there are so many amazing girls out there," she said.
