Adna struck first when Brooklyn Loose smacked a solo home run to put the Pirates up 1-0 in the second inning. The two squads were then held scoreless until the fourth inning, where Adna plated four runs before tacking on five more in the sixth inning to pull away for good.
The Pirates offense was led by Danika Hallom going 2 for 3 with two runs and an RBI. Natalie Loose was 2 for 4 with two RBIs and Ashley VonMoos was 2 for 4 with two runs and an RBI.
