Sophia Wasko’s solo home run in the sixth inning trimmed Kenston’s lead to 2-1, and in the seventh, Claire Bulls drew a one-out walk to start the game-winning rally. Nevaeh Morin followed with an RBI triple to score Bulls with the tying run, and Smith’s ground ball single brought home Morin with the game-winning run.
Wasko had two of the Chargers’ six hits. Camryn Hummel allowed nine hits and two runs in her seven innings of work, walking three and striking out three. She also had a triple at the plate.
