Brewster scored five runs in the sixth inning to even the score at 5-5. The big hit was a monstrous Kim Bentston two-run triple to deep center field. Bentson scored the equalizer on a Megan Hill sacrifice fly. During the inning, Lakeland coach Steve Fallo brought in Alex Oakes in relief of Lischinsky, who pitched 5 1/3 innings. Lischinsky shut out Brewster through five innings, as the Bears stranded eight baserunnes, including seven in scoring position. Lischinsky, who moved to second base after Oakes came in, admitted after the game she had tired a little in the 6th and didn’t mind being removed for Oakes.

Lakeland’s hitting star was first baseman Tori Jarosz, who doubled in her first two at-bats, singled and then was unintentionally, intentionally walked. Jarosz had an RBI double in the second and a two-run double in the third.

Porcelli pounds the ball: Yorktown’s Larissa Porcelli went 4 for 4 and scored three runs and Tori Matzura had two hits and three RBI in a victory over Our Lady of Lourdes. Dana Bisaccia whiffed 10 in six innings and allowed three hits.
