The lineup proved deep, with Avery Parks, Abby Melvin and Katie Scheckel each collecting two hits, while several other teammates added singles to keep the offense rolling.
Samantha TeGrootenhuis earned the win on the mound, delivering a solid outing that complemented the bats and helped the team preserve its late‑season push.
Coach’s confidence in the roster paid off as the squad prepares to host Grand View Christian for a varsity doubleheader on Thursday, looking to build on the win.
