Courtney Fick provided the Lady Bulldogs with all of the runs that they would need with a three-run home run in the top of the first inning. It was Fick’s third round-tripper of the season.

Allei Ferguson, Stephanie Kiesel and Lexi Slater all had 2-for-4 outings. Kiesel contributed a double. Ashley Brean and KK Melgoza both went 1-for-3. Brean drove in a run. Tory Roberts was 1-2 with an RBI.
