It's hard to turn regular season success into postseason wins, a fact Maryville can now relate to. They fell just short of the Halls Red Devils by a score of 1-0 on Monday. The game marked the first time this season in which Maryville was not able to get on the board.
Bekah Duck spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered only one earned run on three hits. She has been consistent recently: she hasn't pitched less than five innings in four consecutive pitching appearances.

At the plate, the team relied heavily on Brianna Smith, who went 1-for-3 with a home run.
