a game-tying two-run double by Annabel Kevwitch in the sixth inning.

ripped off 11 second-inning runs and won in three due to the mercy rule.
Fagan and LeaTrea each had three hits and Kevwitch got two. Kevwitch,
Lianne Fagan and Janie Fagan each scored three times. Beth LeaTrea
pitched a three-inning no-hitter, allowing just a walk and striking out
