Dodgeville catcher Courtney Cushman hit a home run on the first pitch she saw leading off the bottom of the seventh that made a winner out of Sam Arnold Tuesday in non-conference play against Reedsburg.
The Dodgers had plated five runs in the second inning, but Reedsburg came back with one in the fifth and four in the sixth to tie - setting the stage for Cushman's heroics.
Samantha Crowley was 3x4 on the day while Brooke Lee, Hailey Jones, Cushman, Courtney Reukauf and Arnold all had one hit.
Arnold struck out five, walked one and gave up two doubles and four singles. Two of the five runs off her were earned as the Dodgers committed three errors.
Beth Maenpaa was 2x3 for Reedsburg while Carly Yager struck out six, waked four and gave up eight hits and four earned runs.
"Quite a way to finish off the home season with a walk off home run over the centerfield fence," said Dodger coach Gene Van Dyck. "We hit the ball hard the entire game. Samantha Crowley had her best offensive game of the year and Sam Arnold threw her best ball of the year until she lost control in the fifth and sixth. She got it back in the seventh retiring their top three hitters."
"Defensively we had a good game until the sixth when they scored two unearned runs."
The Dodgers open D2 tourney play Thursday at Platteville.
