The Bulldogs offense was propelled by Myranda Papesh who went 1-1, drew 2 walks, had an RBI and scored one run. Also pitching in was Hannah Benson who scored 2 key runs for the Bulldogs in the win.

In the second game of the day, the Bulldogs toppled the Cook County Vikings 11-0. Grace Macor was the winning pitcher, pitching 5 innings, striking out 11, walking one and allowing 1 hit.
