Mansfield, 6 vs. Arlington, 7 – Final – Mansfield cut the lead to one in the bottom of the sixth inning, but left the bases loaded and wasn’t able to bring in the tying run. All five of Mansfield’s losses this season have been by four runs or fewer, including two by only one run. Arlington, which is undefeated this season, grabbed a lead in the top of the first, but Mansfield quickly answered back with a run in the bottom of the inning. Cat Kipp led off with a single and eventually came in to score on a wild pitch. The visitors scored twice more in the second, but the Hornets responded with a four-run third to take the lead. Julia Kelly walked and Kipp got her second hit of the day. Walks and wild pitches would help Mansfield bring in four, but Arlington’s reliever struck out a pair of Hornets to leave the bases loaded. Arlington tied the game at 5-5 with two in the fourth and regained the lead with two more in the sixth. Olivia DeTrolio and Kipp (3-for-4) started the Mansfield half of the sixth with base hits. Callie Lake (2-for-2) followed with a single that loaded the bases and Liv Madeira plated one with a single of her own. The Hornets weren’t able to keep the rally going, as a pair of soft liners on the infield left the bases loaded again and Mansfield went 1-2-3 in the seventh. Amanda Schwarz and Kelly shared the pitching duties and struck out eight batters combined.
