Westwood took a ten-run loss the last time they faced off against Shadow Ridge, but this time they managed to keep it close and that made all the difference. The Warriors narrowly escaped with a win as the squad sidled past the Stallions 5-4.
Ava Sharpe spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered just two earned (and two unearned) runs on six hits.
On the hitting side, Westwood's victory was truly a team effort as four different players contributed at least one hit. One of them was Lauren Cooper, who went 1-for-3 with one run and one RBI.
