GAME ONE

The Grizzlies managed to plate a run in the fifth and sixth to make it 7-2, but the Cougars responded in a big way. Mia Stankiewicz singled home a run in the seventh, and Camryn Quilling singled home yet another run. The icing on the cake came when Kenzie Middleton tripled down the right field line, scoring two.

Emma Duncan improved to 6-0 on the season, striking out six and allowing just two runs on three hits to continue her stellar start to the season.  The duo of Eastburn and Edwards led with two RBI as the offense saw production from all parts of the batting order.
