Junior Miley Riedel and Sophomore Bristol Bruder paced the offensive attack for the Tigers with two hits each.

Seniors Ava Lorentz and Allison Cebulla, and Freshman Olivia Browen all chipped in with one hit each, including Browen’s first varsity hit.

Bruder went the distance, working around several Tigers miscues to get the win.

There were five lead changes and three ties in this back-and-forth affair, with both teams refusing to go away.
