Fitch waltzed into their match on Saturday with five straight wins... but they left with six. They walked away with a 5-2 win over the Griswold Wolverines. The Falcons have seen this before: they got the W the last time they saw the Wolverines, too.
Hailey Merrill spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered two runs (both of which were unearned) on five hits. She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't given up more than two walks in five consecutive appearances.
