Platteville hurler Megan Schlueter struck out four, walked three and gave up six earned runs n 11 hits.
"All round we played a very good game," said Dodger coach Gene Van Dyck. "Carley threw her best game of the year with her drop working and locating her fast ball. The 2 runs in the first inning were unearned resulting form a misplayed infield hit and an error. Carley then only gave up one single the rest of the game as well as walking none."
"Defensively we played very well with our outfield making a couple of real nice catches and Brooke Lee having a very good game as SS. Sierra Oleson and Abby Prochaska both not only had multiple hit game but hit the ball extremely hard every at bat."
"It was nice to finally get to play during a nice day," said Pointer coach Quinn Schultz. "We put the ball in play all day and capitilized on a few mistakes made by Dodgeville."
