      South Kitsap used three singles to get a run in the second.

      Alexa Ostrander was safe on an error by the first baseman to open the third.  After a line drive out, Ostrander took second on a wild pitch.  Courtney Schwan dropped a single into left to move Ostrander to third.  Kylie Ostrander courtesy ran for Schwan and stole second.  Alex DeStephano singled to right to score Alexa Ostrander and to move Kylie Ostrander to third.  DeStephano alertly took second on the throw to the plate.  Sarah Sorensen hit a sacrifice fly to right center to score Kylie Ostrander and to move DeStephano to third.  Becca Sorensen then jumped on the first pitch and singled to left to score DeStephano.

      Alexis Mendez pinch hit and dropped a single behind first base to open the seventh.  Haley Dusek put down a perfect bunt and beat it out for a single to move Mendez to second.  Courtney Schwan hit a grounder that eluded the shortstop and allowed Mendez to score.

      South Kitsap used a double, an infield out, and a single to get a run in the seventh.

      Good defensive plays were made by Abby McDonald who caught a foul pop-up bunt for the first out in the 1st; by Haley Dusek who with two on caught a line drive and threw to Alexa Ostrander to double the lead runner off of second in the 2nd; by Alex DeStephano who with two on charged a sacrifice bunt and threw to Haley Dusek covering first for the second out in the 3rd; by Kelly McLaughlin who made a nice running catch in left center to end the 4th; by Courtney Schwan who went back and reached up to get a high chopper and threw the batter out at first for the second out in the 5th; and by Sarah Sorensen who tracked down a line drive in right center for the first out in the 6th. 

      Courtney Schwan started and again went the distance for the win.  She struck out 7 including the third and fourth batters with a runner on third in the first inning.  She walked only one.
