Both pitchers went the distance. Wapakoneta freshman Addison Fisher held St. Marys to three hits. She walked three and struck out eight.
Fisher also had a solo home run, while Carlie Schroeder had a double and single and Addy Allen collected two hits. Fisher drove in three runs. Emily Vanhorn had two RBIs, with one each by Allen and Schroeder.
