After Addison’s only walk, Audrea Fowler hit a two-run homer in the fifth for Davie (9-4-1).

Sydney Dirks had a run-scoring double in the sixth for a 3-2 Davie lead.

In the bottom of the sixth, Landry Stewart had a bunt single, and Cole sacrificed her to second. Addison got an infield hit, but Stewart couldn’t advance. Stewart then stole third and scored the run that made it 3-all on an error on the play.

Stewart started the bottom of the 11th with a double.  Cole’s sacrifice bunt moved Stewart to third. After two intentional walks loaded the bases, Kann came through with her game-winning hit to right field.
