  • Sophomore righty Breckyn Daniel (Berea/Berea-Midpark) earned her second save as she pitched three scoreless innings with one hit, career-high five strikeouts and two walks
In game one, the Yellow Jackets scored five runs on five hits as they plated two runs in the second off the blast by Mraz and three in the sixth including the game-winning single by senior first baseman Avery Curran (Kitchener, Ontario, CANADA/Resurrection Catholic) and a two-run insurance homerun by freshman shortstop Morgan Palos (Elyria).   Otterbein scored two runs on seven hits as it pushed both runs across the plate in the first.
