a jam and Dulles did not score. In the bottom half of the inning we loaded the bases and won the
game when Heather Hummel walked and pushed across the winning run.
In the 2nd game we faced Terry and the bats game alive. We had extra base hits from Kathryn
West and Sara Moreman, as well as numerous singles from Shannon Fenton, Lauren Tinkler,
