River Hargett looked comfortable as she pitched three innings while giving up no earned runs off three hits.
At the plate, the team relied heavily on Siena Balistreri, who went 1-for-2 with one home run and two RBI. Annika Isaacson also deserves some recognition as she hit her first triple of the season.
