At Teutopolis

Cowden-Herrick/Beecher City edged out to a 2-1 first inning lead on Teutopolis and pushed that to 4-1 in the third and 5-1 in the top of the fifth. However, T-town came back with two in the bottom of the fifth and went ahead 6-5 in the bottom of the sixth.

Macy Probst drew a walk for T-town in the bottom of the sixth, stole second and came home on a single by jessica Runde. Isabelle Hemmen drew a walk. Runde and Hemmen then had a double steal and came home on Daischa Piedra's double.

CHBC came back to tie the score in the seventh. But T-town tallied the victory in the bottom of the eighth. Runde reached on an error and Piedra hit Runde in from second base for the win.

"We did lose but we played well," said CHBC Coach Carolyn Wendte. "We just didn't quite get enough offense even though we outhit T-town. We let them move around the bases too much without making contact with the ball. Again, it was a great game for us."
