Clara Lamb was 3-3 with a double and the rbi, while striking out eight and allowing one hit in the circle for the win.

Colby Boyce added a triple and three rbi, while Sophia Dettling had a double and three rbi.

Marissa Idalski chipped in with a hit and two runs scored and Jules Richards a hit and run scored.

Dexter scored 12 runs in the first inning and cruised to a three inning 19-3 win in the second game.

Boyce had a huge game at the plate with a pair of home runs with a single and four RBI to lead the Dreadnaughts hitting attack.

Lizzie Lewis collected a pair of doubles and three rbi, while Eleni Michos had a home run and three rbi.

Lamb and Dettling each had a double and rbi, Idalski a double and two rbi, and Kirkey a double and two runs scored.
