YOU GOTTA HAVE FAITH! CARDS ONE WIN AWAY FROM A STATE TITLE

Julianna King was in the pitcher’s circle for the Big Red.  She went six and a third innings, allowing two runs on two hits, striking out ten and walking zero.

Hailey Freedy and Gianna Pannunzio each managed one hit to lead Canfield. Both of their hits came in the seventh inning, and both came around to score on wild pitch, and a Faith Morell suicide squeeze
