Oakridge had only four hits in the game. Brenna Cabrera led the way with a home run and a single. Kaelinn Jozsa also had a home run and drove in two runs. Galdeen contributed a single.
Kylee Willea picked up the win against Spring Lake, going the distance and giving up five hits, three walks and striking out nine.
Galdeen crushed a grand slam home run and added a single to lead the Eagles at the plate. Jozsa had two singles and one RBI, Cabrera had a single and two RBI as the Eagles knocked out nine hits for the game.
