On the hitting side, Saint Ignatius College Prep got a massive performance out of Molly Milanowski, who scored three runs and stole two bases while getting on base in all four of her plate appearances. The team also got some help courtesy of Sarah Fitzgerald, who scored two runs and stole a base while going 2-for-3.
