      Good defensive plays were made by Courtney Schwan who caught a line drive for the second out in the 2nd; by Kelly McLaughlin who chased down a double, hit Alexa (the cut off person) Ostrander, who threw to Rachel Barcena who caught the ball and tagged the batter out trying to stretch a double into a triple for the second out in the 4th; by Abby McDonald who pounced on a bunt and threw the batter out at first to end the 4th; by Courtney Schwan who fielded a come backer and threw the batter out at first for the first out in the 6th; and by Courtney Schwan who with the runner on the move fielded a come backer and threw the batter out at first for the first out in the 7th. 
      Courtney Schwan started and again went the distance for the win.  She struck out 9 (including the side in the first) and walked two.  Half of the runs against her were unearned.
