Sandusky trailed for most of the second game, and trailed by three runs to start the seventh inning when the bats of the Lady Wolves came alive. The seventh inning charge started with Emma Minard leading off with a single. Ruby Trepkowski followed with a double, and Annie Ross a single. Adalee Kaufman doubled and Morgan Taege singled. Alyssa Kitchen and Mia Levitt both hit singles to bring the leadoff hitter of the inning, Emma Minard, back to the plate again.

Sandusky rallied for an impressive ten runs in the top of the seventh inning to take the lead 13-6, after trailing the bulk of the contest.
Mia Levitt pitched all seven innings in the second game, giving up 10 hits, five runs and striking out three. “Our pitching is getting stronger…” Stated Varsity Head Coach Danny Franzel, adding “Our girls never give up and are always learning with every pitch on how to get on the ball at the plate.” The Varsity Wolves bounce back after a six-game slide and now sit a record of 2-6, with a perfect 2-0 in the league.
