only one more run on a sacrifice fly by Hughes, falling
7-3. Molly Shuey

falling to 0-1 on the season.

on both offense and defense, allowing no runs while piling
on eight of its own on a 12-hit appearance.
Centerfielder Lynn Spiezio (Trooper/Methacton) went 5-for-5 at the plate while
second baseman Heather
