Fletcher got a massive performance out of Kayla Gwisz, who scored four runs and stole four bases while getting on base in two of her four plate appearances. Gennifer Phillips was another key contributor, scoring two runs and stealing a base while going 2-for-2.
Meanwhile, Nease didn't have quite enough to beat Oakleaf on Tuesday and fell 3-2. The loss unfortunately continues a disappointing trend for Nease in their matchups with Oakleaf: they've now lost four in a row.

Fletcher might still be hurting after the 10-4 loss they got from Nease in their previous meeting two weeks ago.
