HOW IT HAPPENED:
- The first two innings were quiet, with each team tallying a hit, but no runs.
- In the bottom of the third, Shelby Kunkel drove a RBI double to center, allowing Mckenna Campbell and Kari Krueger to score. An error allowed Kunkel to move to third and Kaylee Oh to cross home, putting the RedHawks ahead 3-0.
- A double steal in that same inning, where Chloe Parks took second base and Shelby Kunkel took home, pushed the lead to 4-0.
- Holly Merritt made a stellar double play at first in the top of the fourth, snagging a line drive before turning around to tag the runner herself, ending the half inning.
- In the bottom of the fifth, Kunkel hit a line drive to center so that Oh crossed home to up the lead to 5-0.
- Jenna Golembiewski followed that up with a two-run home run over the left field wall that also scored Kunkel and extended the lead further to 7-0.
- Still in the fifth, a fielder's choice from Danitza Hernandez allowed Parks to cross home and end the game at 8-0.
NOTES:
- Kunkel and Golembiewski went 2-for-3 at the plate. Campbell and Krueger went 1-for-2.
- Oh, Kunkel, and Golembiewski had extra-base hits.
- Kunkel, Golembiewski, and Campbell had RBI.
