Rewatch the game:
The Lady Beavers scored four runs in the fourth inning to make it 6-0, all coming after an error allowed the frame to continue. Sarah Henninger, who delivered an RBI double in the second inning, reached on the error, which was immediately followed Gulvas’ blast, a line-drive shot to right.

Lauren Walker continued the fourth with a double, which was followed by back-to-back RBI singles from Morgan Pasternak and Snyder.
That was more than enough for Snyder, who limited St. Marys to six hits, walking two and striking out five.
Henninger’s RBI double in the second opened the scoring. She advanced to third as St. Marys attempted to throw out Kat Patton on the plate, and the throw to third got away, allowing Henninger to scamper home.
Kara Hanslovan belted a solo home run in the sixth inning for St. Marys. The Lady Dutch also had a scoring opportunity taken away in the third inning. With runners on second and third and one out, Kendyl Young hit a line drive down the third-base line, striking teammate Alexis Wendel.
