On the hitting side, Addysen Peyret was a standout: she scored three runs while going 3-for-3. The dominant performance also gave her a new career-high in doubles (two). Elizabeth Colson also deserves some recognition as she launched her first home run of the season.

Looking ahead, St. Patrick will be taking part in a tournament against D'Iberville at 12:15 p.m. on Saturday.
