Lawrence’s best chance to get back in to the game came in the sixth with the bases loaded and one out, but a sharp line drive by DiNardi turned into a double play, ending the threat.

Senior Samantha Speziale scored the lone run for Lawrence when, after a pinch-hit fielder’s choice landed her on first, she stole second and eventually home to put her team on the board.

On the defensive side, Maxine Kastriner, Marisa Bou and Gabby Jan all had strong games.

Coach Wynn hopes to continue his team’s late momentum into the next contest.

“When we get behind right away it’s tough to dig yourself out of a whole and what we have to do is piece that end to the next beginning and play seven innings that way.”
