After going a combined 0-5 in Palomares League games against first-place Ayala and second-place Bonita, and never allowing more than three runs, Bridget Nemeth and her Tartans secured their most significant victory of the season.

Three batters later, Marisa Dominguez tied the game at 2-2 with a two-out single.

Karson Zavala and Allie Lukaszewicsz went five innings apiece.
Zavala allowed one earned run on two hits.
She walked three and struck out eight GHS batters.
Lukaszewicsz surrendered a pair of unearned runs in the 10th.
In all, she allowed two hits, walked a pair and struck out six Tartans.
In the top of the 10th, and with one out, Ryan Speh and Nemeth drew walks, and Makenna Coleman singled to load the bases.
