THE REST OF THE STORY
• In game one,

Michaela Carroll (Hackensack, N.J./Hackensack) double to left for a 1-0 lead.
•
Carlie Goldstein (Verona, N.J./Verona) roped a one-out double in the third before an
Allegra DeCandia single put runners at the corners. After she stole second, an infield hit from Komst loaded the bases. After a fielder's choice gave York the second out at the plate,
Julia Smith (Marydel, Md./Queen Anne's County) drew a bases loaded walk to force in a run for a 2-0 lead.
• DeCandia and Komst rapped out back-to-back singles to start the fifth. After DeCandia gave way to pinch-runner
Emma Rokoszak (Belmar, N.J./Trinity Hall), a Moser single and error with two outs scored Rokoszak for a 3-0 lead. Back-to-back walks to
Bailey Quinn (Hanford, Calif./Robinson Secondary School [Va.]) and
Lauren O'Leary (Manasquan, N.J./Jackson Memorial) forced in Komst for a 4-0 lead.
• Morgan Sauers reached on an error to lead off the sixth. After a wild pitch and walk put runners at the corners, a Daphney Adams single loaded the bases. A two-out Amanda Criss single to center cut the deficit in half.
• Goldstein led off the home half of the inning with her second double of the game before a one-out laser from Komst put runners at the corners. A bloop single from Carroll loaded the bases before Moser singled up the middle with two outs to score Goldstein and make it a 5-2 game. Quinn followed with a double to left, scoring two and pushing the lead to 7-2.
•
Paige Forry (Reading, Pa./Schuylkill Valley) worked around a two-out single to pick up the complete-game victory.
• Gettysburg jumped out to a 2-0 in the first inning of the nightcap. O'Leary led off with a triple before scoring on a one-out Carroll sacrifice fly. DeCandia followed with a double before Komst walked. Moser sent a deep fly to right that plated DeCandia before a rundown ended the inning.
• Both teams worked in and out of trouble over the next five innings before Taylor Coon singled up the middle to start the seventh. An error put runners at the corners. A double steal on a strikeout cut the deficit to 2-1 with one out before a second straight strikeout. McKeown followed with a double to tie the game before singles from Reagan Wolford and Kylee Paules gave the Spartans a 4-2 lead. Back-to-back walks after a pitching change and a Coon bases-clearing double set the final margin.
