HOW IT HAPPENED

• The Spartans found their offense early and often, putting runs on the board in each of the first three innings. Ellie Denlinger got things started for York with an RBI-single to center in the first inning as Shyla Pastore came in to score.

• Pastore did more damage at the plate in the second inning as she poked a two-run single up the middle. Pastore came in to score later in the inning on a passed ball as the Spartans quickly opened up a 3-0 lead.

• Pastore came through again in the third inning with another two-run single as Taylor Coon and Natalie Decena came around to score. Alyssa Harhigh followed Pastore with a walk to load the bases and Hannah Vogt drew another walk to bring in Elle Meyer as the Spartans took a commanding 7-0 lead after three innings of play.

• While the offense piled up the runs, Samantha Kiser produced an equally as effective performance in the circle as she tossed a one-hitter through four-straight shutout innings.

• The Mountaineers ended the shutout with two runs on three hits in the fifth. York got one of the runs back on a Decena RBI-single in the sixth as Pastore tossed the final 2.1 innings in relief to seal the win.

HOW IT HAPPENED

• Taylor Lindsay retired five of the first seven batters she faced, surrendering just one hit through the first two innings as the two sides played to a 0-0 draw.

• York broke out in the third with four runs on three hits. After Alyssa Harhigh singled through the left side to get the first run on the board, Hannah Vogt cleared the bases with a two-run single to right field. Vogt later scored on an error by the left fielder.

• The Spartan offense went back to work in the fourth inning with three more runs on three hits. Natalie Decena reached on an error to start the inning and then scored all the way from first as Elle Meyer drove her in with a single through the left side. Harhigh and Vogt once again produced at the plate as Harhigh drove in Meyer with a triple and Vogt brought Harhigh home with a sacrifice fly to center.

• York put one final run on the board in the sixth as Deanna Cusumano scored from second on a dropped fly by the second baseman. Lindsay retired 12 of the final 13 batters she faced as she held the Wildcats hitless through the final four innings.
