Mollie Street and Makinley Magill each scored once.Right fielder Jenna Vetica made a nice running catch on a fly ball while shortstop Magill turned in a fine play of her own as she gunned down a runner at first on a slow roller. Catcher Ioanilli blocked everything in her path behind the plate and Garroway handled three balls flawlessly from third base and the pitching circle. Balin and Jaelynn Timmerman were tremendous splitting duty at first base.
The team, now undefeated at 14-0, will look to win their 15 and final game of the season on Thursday evening.
