“We hit the ball well with two outs all game,” said BC coach Kris Smith. “We also made the routine plays on defense and Codi pitched really well. The girls seem to be playing with confidence right now.”
Bartram ended with a single, double and triple. Frazier hit a double and a home run along with four RBIs. Nettles drove in three runs.
Leggett only needed 60 pitches to pick up the win as she struck out seven and gave up two hits.
