All the Pirates needed was three innings to silence the Ducks and continue its winning streak in the C2BL, now at six after cruising to a 15-0 win in Toutle Lake on Monday night.
With Adna (7-3, 3-0 C2BL) and Toledo both winning, the showdown is set for Thursday in Toledo between the last unbeatens in the league and solo first place. First pitch is slated for 4 p.m.
Four runs in the first inning then eight in the second put the game out of reach and the Pirates put the finishing touches on a run-rule triumph with three in the third. Starter Ava Simms allowed just one hit and struck out four in the circle.
Lena McCloskey went 3-for-3 at the plate with a triple and three RBIs while Alyssa Carroll roped a pair of doubles. The top two hitters in Adna’s lineup, Danika Hallom and Margarite Humphrey, each had three hits.
