Kadence Poston spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered only one earned (and three unearned) runs on seven hits and racked up 14 Ks. She has been consistent for a while: she hasn't tossed less than six strikeouts in 12 consecutive appearances.

Hannah-Pamplico pushed their record up to 7-9 with the victory, which was their fourth straight at home. The home wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.3 runs on average over those games. As for Johnsonville, the victory got them back to even at 10-10.
