After Ashlyn Wilson and Madeline Stephenson both drew walks to lead off, Wilson scored on a Ava Wright fielder’s choice to tie it.

With two outs, Cami Shugart brought in the game-winner with a RBI single to center that plated Stephenson.

The Lady Bears finished with five hits.

LC-M scored a run in the bottom of the first as Stephenson and Bailey Frenzel both reached on singles with Stephenson eventually scoring on a wild pitch.

LC-M went up 2-0 in the second as Friar got a RBI with a bases-loaded walk.

The Lady Bears scored a run in the third when Stephenson scored on a fielder’s choice laced by Frenzel.
