      With one out in the third Haley Dusek crushed the first pitch into right center and circled the bases for a home run before the relay even got back to the infield.

      Spanaway Lake used a single, a wild pitch, and a single to get a run in the fourth.

      With two out in the sixth Rachel Sorensen was hit by a pitch.  Kelly McLaughlin shot the first pitch into left for a single to move Sorensen to second.  When the ball got by the left fielder, Sorensen scored and McLaughlin slid into third.  When the relay to third was wild, McLaughlin also scored.  Alexa Ostrander singled to right and took second on a wild pitch.  Haley Dusek beat out an infield single to move Ostrander to third.  When the throw to first was wild, Ostrander scored.

      Good defensive plays were made by Alexa Ostrander who caught a line drive for the first out in the 1st; by Haley Dusek who fielded a high chopper and threw the batter out at first to end the 2nd; by Haley Dusek who fielded another high chopper and threw the batter out for the first out in the 3rd; by Rachel Barcena who fielded a dribbler to third and gunned the batter out for the second out in the 5th; by Abby McDonald who pounced on a topper up the third base line and threw the batter out to end the 5th; by Kelly McLaughlin who used every inch of her height to reach up and catch a line drive to center for the second out in the 6th; by Alexa Ostrander who fielded a grounder and fed to Haley Dusek covering second to end the 6th; and by Alex DeStephano who fielded a sacrifice bunt and threw to Haley Dusek covering first for the first out in the 7th.

      Courtney Schwan started and again went the distance for the win.  She struck out 5 and walked only one.  She threw just 90 pitches in the two-hit win.  She also helped herself defensively by assisting on all three put outs in the fourth.
