HOW IT HAPPENED
 
GAME 1 – BOX SCORE

• The Mustangs did nearly all of their scoring damage in the opening inning with four runs on two hits, a walk and a pair of Canton errors.
• Morrisville used three hits including a pair of doubles to add what proved to be a key insurance run in the top of the fifth.
• Canton got one run back in the bottom of the inning when Ivy Ostrander scored Marquart who reached on a one out single.
• The Roos rallied for three runs in the bottom of the sixth as Cassandra Forrest led off the frame with a base hit up the middle on a full count. Bridgette Fox followed with a double in the gap to right center. With two outs Jordyn Tarbox came through with a two RBI double to left field. Marquart moved Tarbox to third on another single and Tarbox would later score on a throwing error on a pickoff attempt by the catcher to get Canton within 5-4 after six full innings.
• Morrisville got runners to second and third with one out in the seventh, but Sydney Tanner was able to get a fly out and ground out to end the scoring threat.
• In their final at-bats Canton got a leadoff single from Molly Dowson but a strike out and double play ended the game.
• Marquart led the Canton bats going 3-for-4 with a run as she had a double and two singles. Dowson also had a pair of hits and Fox and Tarbox each had a double with Tarbox driving in a pair.
• Gracie Battles led Morrisville going 3-for-3, while Sara Brefka and Hannah Brennan registered a pair of hits each.
• Piper Kaylor picked up her second win of the season allowing three earned runs with seven strikeouts and a walk in the complete game effort.

• It was all Morrisville from there as they added three unearned runs on two hits and two errors in the second inning.
